Wow, thanks for all of the response. I am beginning to feel a lot more
optimistic about the situation now.
Last night I swapped my hd, and installed win98 on it. With the card in PnP
mode. Windows recognized the card righ away. I used the card, it worked
great. So I went and checked out what resources windows was using with the
card. Windows had the card using irq=11 and io=0300-031F. The 0300-031f, I
am guessing that is the same as io=0x300?
SO I booted linux, and tried everyone's suggestion of switching off PnP. I
set the jumpers to irq 11. For io I use a setting in manual which gives 300H.
I assumed that windows' io -> 0300-031F, Manual's 300H, and linux's 0x300 are
all the same thing? This may be my problem? Anyway, as su I ran the command
"insmod ne eth0 io=0x300 irq=11"
here are the results:
storm:/home/sam060# insmod ne eth0 io=0x300 irq=11
Using /lib/modules/2.2.16-storm/net/ne.o
/lib/modules/2.2.16-storm/net/ne.o: unresolved symbol ei_open

storm:/home/sam060# modprobe ne eth0 io=0x300 irq=11
/lib/modules/2.2.16-storm/net/ne.o: init_module: Device or resource busy
Hint: this error can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or
IRQ parameters
/lib/modules/2.2.16-storm/net/ne.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.2.16-storm/net/ne.o failed
storm:/home/sam060#
This is especially frustrating b/c the card was flawless on windows, the box
says linux ready and ne2000 compatible.
