Petr.Herman writes in http://www.debian.org/cgi-bin/fom?file=170 : I have the PCI Planet ENW-8300 Combo ethernet card (plugged into the PCI Slot 2 of the Matsonic MS-5025S mainboard with the Cyrix 6x86MX PR200 and with the AMI PNP BIOS v.1.0A 07/15/95). The IRQ and I/O assigned by PCI BIOS are 11 and 0xd800 respectively. With Debian 1.3 bo I did install the module for EN2000 with the option io=0xd8000 and all was O.K. Now, after the entirely new installation of the Debian 2.0 hamm (kernel 2.0.34, without any ne2000 module - I presuppose, that the driver for the ne2000 compatibles is compiled into the kernel) at the booting time I got the following message: eth0: unknown interface I tried to use the boot prompt: LILO: linux ether=11,0xd800,eth0 or the following command-line in the /etc/lilo.conf: append="ether=11,0xd800,eth0" or following args for loadlin: loadlin linux root=/dev/hda4 ether=11,0xd800,eth0 ro but all without success. The cat /proc/pci shows the PCI eth. device OK, but neither the cat /proc/ioports nor cat /proc/interrupts nor cat /proc/devices. What to do?
