Try also regular ISA NE2000 driver, then try SMCs drivers; if it don't work, contact the NE2000 Maintainer (see /usr/doc/HOWTO/Ethernet-HOWTO) And disable 'Plowed Pray' from your kernel JY -- Jean-Yves F.

Re: Winbond-based generic NICs
For what it's worth, I have been using a PCI NIC with a Winbond chip for a few years with the driver compiled into my kernel (both the ne2k-pci and before that was available the ISA ne2000 driver). As I recall, it was recognized without problems by the installation kernel (bo, I think), which loaded it as a module.

Re: Winbond-based generic NICs
easy .. get a new NIC :) $20 for a ISA NE2K PnP NIC or $25 for a PCI RT8139 nic .. check nasa's site for updated drivers and other ne2k stuff. i forgot the link off hand if u need it search for nasa on yahoo.aphroland.org nate [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- Linux System Administrator http://www.firetrail.com/ Firetrail Internet Services Limited http://www.aphroland.org/ Everett, WA 425-348-7336http://www.linuxpowered.net/ Powered By:http://comedy.aphroland.org/ Debian 2.1 Linux 2.0.36 SMPhttp://yahoo.aphroland.org/ -[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- On Sun, 24 Oct 1999, Aaron Van Couwenberghe wrote: Hi all - I'm doing some superhero work here, rescuing fellow students from the Gates of hell and introducing them to sweet, brand GNU, true freedom.
