Patrick, what's your game? Are you bored or are you just an
ethernet card masochist?
In February I helped you solve your (self-perceived) ethernet woes
several different ways and several times back. Now here you are again
trying to be "Mr. Obtuse".
Also, as I said back then, $10 for an ISA-based card is a waste of money
and no ISA-based ethernet is worth the effort anyway. I pay less than
$9 for 10/100Mbs PCI cards that are fully and consistently auto-detected
by an ethernet driver supported by STN -- all you have to do is read the
STN archives if you want to know which card that is.
Below is one of several public replies from the Listbot archives that
would indicate your problem nearly was solved back then. (There were
times I replied to you personally when you contacted me directly.)
After looking at this old post from February, it's hard to believe you
back here again asking for more assistance to a problem that even my
92-year old grandmother could have solved by now. Oh, and if you're
just lonely, get a dog. ;-) From:

The second one down under "tested" on the menu:
PCI NE2000 (RealTek 8029)
An it absolutely 100% works great, but the card does need to be the PCI
version. Then just STN autodetect the IRQ and I/O address (leave it
blank).
Hope that Intel is the PCI version and not the ISA or you might have to
do a little more work to get this pair working - that's why I initially
recommended you get two 8029's and you would have been done in a couple
of minutes. Oh well.
