Haven't dealt with ISA in a long time. 1. Try dmesg |grep 2000 and see if you see anything 2. do a cat /proc/interrupts and see if you see the card, and if you do, if it has an assigned IRQ 3. do a cat /proc/interrupts and see if the ioports match what you configured with the DOS setup program. Looking at the RedHat HCL, it looks like the NE2000 is compatible http://hardware.redhat.com/hcl/?pagename=details&hid=4428 try the above, and post the results.....do you have a PCI slot available? PCI NICs are cheap, these days and they're faster, easier to deal with.....:) -- Psyche-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list DISCLAIMER: Information contained and transmitted by this E-MAIL is proprietary to Wipro Limited and is intended for use only by the individual or entity to which it is addressed, and may contain information that is privileged, confidential or exempt from disclosure under applicable law.
