Impossible. The irq is between 1 and 15. IRQ 0 is the CPU. >So I assume I need to specify the irq.

The eexpress module does a good job of autodetecting IRQ. >/lib/modules/2.2.18pre21/net/eexpress.o: init_module: Device or resource >busy >Hint: this error can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including >invalid IO or IRQ parameters > >This is followed by failure messages. > >The command-line parameter I am using in modconf is this: >options eexpress io=0x300 irq=14 Try without any io and irq. Sometimes the module will autodetect. If you have no idea of the ioport and IRQ and the module doesn't autodetect, contact me offlist for a Softset disk... >I found that line on a webpage so have no idea if it is correct or not. >That's when I decided the actual mailing list might be helpful. > >The ethernet card did work yesterday when RedHat was on it.
