You need to figure out (Win95 has the info) the irq, address, and type of
card. Then you can either
- put an
append="ether=11,0x6000,eth0"
in /etc/lilo.conf and run lilo to make the change take effect
OR
- put something like
alias eth0 ne
options ne io=0x6000 irq=11
in /etc/conf.modules
Both of the above examples assume that your card is an NE2000 clone using
irq 11 and a base address if 6000 for the PCI slot it's in.
