Hi Jerome,
Well, I tried that and it gave:
"ERROR: AR813x/AR815x not found on slot 0xFF
Driver Init Error"
I dug up the old info I had researched a few months ago on this laptop
(I had given up on this laptop's networking already) and this is an:
"Acer Aspire One ZG5, model number A0A 150 1570" - the sticker on bottom
I found a support manual at:
https://www.s-manuals.com/pdf/notebook/acer/acer_aspire_one_aoa150_service_guide.pdf
and it sayeth the LAN chip is the Realtek RTL8102EL.
The packetdriversdos.net site has an RTEODI.COM which lists the 8102E
but not
the 8102EL. But I'm going to try it. I've never messed with ODI on
FreeDOS, so
this will be yet another fun new bit of trauma to learn from. :-)
Well, RealTek is certainly completely different from Atheros. And All
RTL81xx chips should run off the same drivers,. RealTek still used to
have all their drivers for all chips and all OS on their web site, last
time I had to check for something...
Just checked again and they seemed to have cleaned up a little bit as
well, the only Fast Ethernet (100TX) chip they still have files for is
the RTL8139, they also have a DOS disgnostic program, if that gives you
reasonable output, the DOS driver for it should work as well...
