Found isapnptools. did pnpdump, but don't understand what is says! I cannot copy isapnp.conf.sample here because my floppy broke down (just to add more fun) and or course don't have internet on my slack box.
It does say something like: minimum IO base adress 0x0280, maximun IO base adress 0x03e0. Tried both on modprobe, none worked (when I see the syslog no card was found with such an adress).
Sorry but, as the saying goes, close only counts with hand granades and horseshoes ... not error messages and config files. You aren't likely to get help with interpreting this output until we can see it, not "something like" it. But see below.
¿how do i know how to edit isapnp.conf.... ?
Also, on dmesg, it says: isapnp: Card 'Genius LAN GE2000III Series Card' isapnp: 1 plug & play card detected total.
Also, i wrote down the following before formatting windows. It was using this:
Raltek rtl8019 or compatible i/o interval 02c0-02df Memory interval 000DC000-000DFFFF and was using a NE2000.sys file for the device
OK. One possibility, then, is to believe what Windows tells you about the card and see if it works under Linux. That is, what happens if you run the command
modprobe ne io=0x2c0
(as I recall, ne can autoprobe for the irq but not the io value)?
Do you get a failure message from the module? If you do not, does "ifconfig -a" then show an eth0 interface present? If it does, what IRQ does it report? And can you now assign it an IP address (maybe with "ifup eth0", if Slackware uses the ifup/ifdown commands that are pretty standard on other Linux distros)?
