I am trying to get my ISA ethernet card to work. It is a Startech card. It
says that it is 100% ne2000 compatible, and Linux compatible. AN ne2000 card
which is isa, should use the 'ne' modules right?
Well the card has 2 modes, jumper mode or jumperless. Jumperless means PnP,
and this is the mode I have the card in. I know that my mobo works with ISA PnP
cards, b/c I have a ISA sb16 vibra PnP card which works fine. In the Plug and
Play section of my BIOS, 2 cards are mentioned, sound blaster vibra 16, and
plug and play ethernet. So the bios knows that it is there, but linux doesn't.
I also have a pci ne2k-pci card which works fine, but I need the pci slot
for my new scsi controller. To make sure that there is no resource conflict I
removed every card on board (except video card, and the ISA NIC). I then
booted up, and tried to insert the ne module, and the n2 moduel. Neither
worked. Here is the results.

What does "Hint: this error can be caused by incorrect module parameters,
including invalid IO or IRQ parameters" mean? Should I be passing arguements
about irq etc when I modprobe?
Please help. I already took a Kingston ISA (ne2000 compliant) card back b/c I
thought that maybe was defective or incompatibe with my mobo. But now I
believe that is is something I am not doing.
