I have an ne2000 compatible card and there used to be s page on
the stormix site on how to get it up and working.
Essentially, you want to lose the plug n play, find out the irq and io
of the card (mine is io=0x300 and irq=10) then do either insmod ne
eth0 io=0x300 irq=10 (at the command line) or the same with the
modprobe command.
Read the man pages for both insmod and modprobe. Once your
card is "seen" you need to add that to your modules. I think there
is a /etc/storm.conf or /etc/storm.modules or something. In there
add the lines:
alias ne eth0
io=0xXXX irq=XX (where the X is your values)
Then, at the command line, do a make modules then make
modules_install and you should be set. Do ifconfig eth0 at the
command line to see if all is well.
I'll try to think of it more but right now I've got work to do at my job.
:(
