Dear Anyone, I am very confused. It looks like I have my SMC EZ ethernet
card setup maybe but nothing happening yet. I checked one of the log
files and it said device or resource busy.
I have checked about every file I could such as proc/interrupts,
conference modules,etc. I do not know if things look right or not because
I do not understand that much of it. Is there anyway to print out these
files?
I did netcfg, linuxconf, edited files, etc.
My sound card looks set up but again I get a message that device or
resource is busy. My sound card did the same thing a couple of installs
ago:) then all of a sudden started to work on its own when I was in XFce
and turned on the CD player. I have no idea why it started working then.
It is not doing anything in KDE right now.
My SMC EZethernet card is an ISA and a SMC1660T. From my research that
uses the rtl8019 driver which is supposedly a clone of NE2000. I used
that driver since the rtl8019 is not listed in my Linux-Mandrake 7.
I know a couple of you said you have the same card that I have and got it
working eventually. It was working well in my Windows 95 before it
crashed so I know the card works. I have not used ISApnp yet.I read alot
about it but I do not understand how to use it. I looked into the Bios
but I can't figure out how to disable the card there for plug and play.
If anyone is willing to help I would greatly appreciate it. I already
posted all of my card and driver information that I got from Windows in a
previous email. I will send it again if I must.Maybe I chose the wrong
driver or maybe it is a conflict problem but I cannot figure it out from
the information I have. I am sure some of you could. I am so
inexperienced with this, I guess.
I have been paying for cable for a couple of months now and I cannot use
it. I have spent too many days and hours on this. I am just about ready
to reformat my harddrives and just put Windows 95 back on so that I can
use the cable. That is an absolute last resort. I was hoping to be a
Linux user. Your help is always greatly appreciated. Thank you. Marcia
