Not exactly what you want, but floppyfw http://zelow.no seems to do real well with old isa cards. detects the chipset and finds those pesky irq and interrupts. you would then have the numbers to put in dhcpd.conf.

This is scary for ~an uninitiated teacher in a school that likes the idea of LTSP, but have little ~technical experience. ~ ~We have dabbled with some programs that claim to find ISA cards, but ~have not had much success. So I wondered if anyone on this list has tried ~to put together a floppy that will find the NIC and video card, report it to ~screen or perhaps initialize the NIC and send it to the LTSP server to have ~it automagically update the files involved there. Or have any ideas how this ~should be done. Or even tell us that we are out of our minds to even ~suggest it. ~ ~-- ~Mvh Ragnar Wisl�ff ~------------------ ~life is a reach. then you gybe. ~ ~ ~_____________________________________________________________________ ~Ltsp-discuss mailing list.
