I am trying to setup a PCI PnP ethernet card on my system.
I'm running into some problems...
1) I don't know how to manipulate PCI PnP devices. When
my system starts up, the PnP BIOS lists all ISA PnP
devices, not PCI devices. isapnpdump only dumps info
on my SBAWE64, not the ethernet card. I know the card
works, because I dual-boot to Windows, and It sees it
just fine. I can even manipulate IRQ and I/O settings.
Any support for PCI PnP?
2) Between my Mitsumi CD controller, and the SBAWE64, damn
near every I/O location bellow 0x03FF is taken. Originally
Windows put the I/O base of my Ether card way up at 0x1000.
Since the card is PnP, I could set the card to another base.
The lowest was 0x0400, so the card now resides at
0x0400-0x0475. Now, my understanding is that PnP devices
are set up by BIOS during start-up, (I have my BIOS's "PnP OS
Installed?" set to FALSE,) and that it could potentially
choose bizare values. How can I see if my card has been
allocated an I/O base, and what that I/O base is?
Incidently, the card is made by NetSurf, and is a DEC-21041
based card. 10/100Mbps.
I'm sure there will be more questions to come, but these are
a good starting point.
Thanks,
Bryan Scaringe
