(Opensuse as router)
Many thanks for any advice,
For such a task, imho SuSE 10.3 is a little obese.
I'd recommend ipcop that works with my PI 166 with one PCI and one ISA
NE-2000 board.
Kind regards
Eberhard
I am sure you're right, but I wrote to this mailing list specifically
regarding the opensuse implications. Last time I looked, ipcop didn't
really do all I wanted, but I am sure there are better dedicated
solutions - I just like to use one distribution for all my machines.
Also, make sure you check your BIOS and see if you can set the ISA IRQ
as a "Legacy IRQ" or something similar. I have had this issue using Abit
boards.
Good point. I have reserved the IRQ in BIOS and the port address not
used by anything else. These are set on the card by a utility program,
but unlike a PnP card it doesn't broadcast it is there until the port is
probed. I can load the driver, and, indeed, use the card fully: but
yast2 does not fully recognise it even when it is loaded. For instance,
unlike other cards yast2 cannot discern its MAC address. I am concerned
that some part of the setup I want to do will fail because the card is
not fully integrated into all the relevant lists.
