Isapnp.conf

2011-04-21 Thread David Baron
Isapnp startup script no longer works. The READPORT fails to read the isapnp 
port number due to resource conflict.

(READPORT 0x0213)

Only a limited range can be entered here and the one I placed was shown on the 
/proc/ioports file. There are two, the one labeled as write is outside the 
allowed range.

~$ cat /proc/ioports | grep -i pnp
  0213-0213 : ISAPnP
  0400-04bf : pnp 00:08
  04d0-04d1 : pnp 00:01
  0800-087f : pnp 00:01
  0880-088f : pnp 00:01
  0a79-0a79 : isapnp write

The card in question may or may not be defective at this point but the only 
initialization being done is by BIOS. (Further?) initialization used to be 
done by isapnp.

Any fix here? Is this all not needed or deprecated?

(The card in question is an older ISA analog telephone modem. So far, no PCI 
modem, at least the older ones I have around, is recognized by the system. I 
am running Sid on a P4 on one of the few remaining MBs that has ISA.)

I never cared for internal soft modems, especially PCI soft modems.  Too
many problems.  I always used an external serial modem--universal
compatibility no matter what PC/OS you plug it into.  I've not used a
POTS modem for a decade, but I'd bet things haven't changed WRT internal
soft modem headaches.

Does the P4 box in question have an RS232 port?  If so ~$30 buys you a
brand new 56k external fax modem:

If you don't have a serial port, a USB modem would probably be better
than an internal soft modem, especially an ISA PNP card.  This Rosewill
USB 56k modem gets great reviews with Linux, only $20:

pnpdump, isapnp, and isapnp.conf

2011-03-27 Thread David Baron
With new MB, I can no longer access my older, analog phone line modem.

The isapnp startup had an older isapnp.conf file.

I assume one uses pnpdump to make a new one with the correct ISAPNP port. I 
found an address 0213 in the /proc/ioports and I seem to get a sensible conf 
file using this. However, when running isapnp startup, it kicks at that port, 
cannot execute the READPORT 0x0213, no further action. (I had the same error 
on the old file that had 273 instead.)

1. Should I even need this?
2. Am I missing something here?
3. lshal shows the card on the appropriate /dev/ttyS2 with its interupt 12.
4. I was not successful with a newer PCI modem either.

The MB is a huge and costly one with a pentium-4 dual core 3ghz with pc-
express Nvidia graphics interface, PCI slots and two legacy ISA. Rare bird 
nowadays. Everything else Debian seems to run no problem.

isapnp.conf

2003-05-30 Thread sdownes
My laptop has an expansion port containing a 3c509b ethernet card.
The 2.2 kernel, LTSP boot disk  windows recognise this as 
io 0c300 irq 10  work.
The 2.4.20 kernel recognises it as 0x220 irq 5  doesn't

2.4 kernel says it uses isapnp but I cannot run it from root or find it or 
find a isapnp.conf file.

How do I specify io = 0x300  irq = 10 in the new kernel? please

Steve

I have seen several pnp modems with jumpers that enable you to defeat the pnp
function , so perhaps you should try that route first. If that is not possible
consult  /usr/doc/HOWTO//Plug-and-Play-HOWTO, which covers the subject pretty
well.
Be sure to check your jumper settings for comports. Typical modem settings are
COM2 or COM4(ttyS01 or ttyS03) and IRQ3. Wdoze 9x likes to see modems on COM2 so
use that as your prefered setting. I've seen isa plug and play refered to often
as plug and pray- so good luck.

isapnp.conf

2000-05-22 Thread Cameron Matheson
Hey,

I'm trying to get my ethernet NE2000 clone to work in linux.  The HOWTO
said to read up about isapnptools, so I started looking at the
README.debian, and it has someone's config file here.  Anyways, I can't
make any sense of it.  It says:

# EDI0119 Serial No 2368613654  [checksum 13]
# ANSI string --PLUG  PLAY ETHERNET CARD--
# Logical device id EDI0119
#Device support I/0 range check register
(CONFIGURE EDI0119/236861364 (LD 0

Where can I find out what the logical device id (and serial no) are?
Somewhere in /proc?

Thanks,
Cameron Matheson

Invoking /etc/isapnp.conf

1999-12-01 Thread Howard Mann
This message was sent from Geocrawler.com by Howard Mann [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Be sure to reply to that address.

Hi,

I am planning a move from RH to Debian.

I will configure my eth interface during the 
installation. However, I use isapnptools for my 
ISA EtherEZ NIC, which works fine.

In Debian, what is the best way to invoke 
the /ect/isapnp.conf file on bootup so that the 
NIC is recognized ?

In Red Hat, this is invoked by default via 
the  /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit script.   
 
   
I presume I should put in a runlevel 2 -related 
rc.d directory. (I'll simply copy it from RH to 
the appropriate directory in Debian)

Thanks,

Howard Mann.

Install the isapnptools package. This will automatically setup scripts
in /etc/init.d and symlinks from the proper rc?.d directories.

The only symlink on my system (i haven't messed with the configs, so i
assume this is the default for isapnptools 1.19-1) is
/etc/rcS.d/S15isapnp, which will start it just after the root filesystem
is remounted read-write. Modules are typically started from
/etc/rcS.d/S20modutils, so by the time it tries installing your network
card module isapnp will have been run.

Just make sure you install the isapnptools package... it will
automatically run /sbin/isapnp prior to configuring the network.
