What driver did you inclued in the kernel? 
is it a module or inclued in the kernel?
 
 Also the value for eth0 doesn`t seem to change in  cat /proc/interrupts
 as I believe it should after I attempt to ping (?)

It seems normal, as your NIC isn't active ;),
what does ifconfig and route says?

 Should I try to change the irq of the card (from 5 to 11 maybe?)
 and if so what would be the best way to do this?

it could work.
what other cards have you got, on which IRQs?
what I/O addresses did you setup on the NIC?
(join a cat /proc/interrupts  /proc/ioports, with the
exact list of *all* devices installed (sound, hd, cd)

 Also are there any other ways to check if my network card is
 working properly? Simple answers please, I`m fairly new to
 Debian and know very little about networking.

Usually ifconfig must return the correct address of the machine,
not 0.0.0.0, try it.

ethernet card irq

1999-11-20 Thread paul . walton
I`ve been trying to communicate with a Win95 machine via thin ethernet but 
can`t seem to ping from or to either machine. Noticeably if I try to ping from 
the win95 box I can see the network card lights working as it attempts to 
connect, but from Linux no lights appear at all. The card (at1700BT plus)is 
detected at boot time but on checking dmesg I saw the following:

eth0: transmit timed out with status 8180, IRQ conflict?
eth0: timeout registers: 8180 8182 0106 e85a d920  8080 4000.

Also the value for eth0 doesn`t seem to change in  cat /proc/interrupts as I
