I am in no way attempting to mock anyone. I am providing this experiential
information for the benefit of everybody. No pun intended, flames to
/dev/null. Until a few weeks ago, I never had to deal with ISA NICs in
Linux. I've always used PCI NICs before. During my experiments with that
486 with an ISA NIC, I started taking note that the Linux PNP tools were
"not that great", so I took note of the IRQ and IO base address used by
Windows previously on the same machine, then set the NIC to not use PNP,
and told it to use the IRQ and IO base address previously set. All
attempts to work like this failed.
I decided to try out the ISA PNP tools. I set the NIC back to PNP, then
edited the /etc/isapnp.conf that was generated with the help of pnpdump to
make sure that it set the NIC to use the IRQ and IO base address that
Windows used to use. Fortunately pnpdump recommended the same values,
anyway.
Things work, FWIW. :-)
