Re: mysterious problem with NICs, isapnp, and modutils
sorry all, just didnt know about running
update-modules after making changes.
also didnt know about /network/interfaces
either.
anyway, looks like things are in working order
now...

Yeah Actually there is a misterious config file.
IF! you gave modconf an argument to pass to the module. like IRQ=5
If you did, then the file you seek to distroy is
in /etc/modconf/{name of device] or it could be /etc/modules/[name of
device]
I'm at work now and I don't have debian handy.
ARG !
hope you get it to work. I had the darnedest time
trying to get my sb.o module to work. the only time it would work is when I
setup my card to use IRQ 5 and only 5. even if i passwd the driver an IRQ=7 or
6 the driver would only work with the sound card and the driver talking on irq
5. I hope you don't have the same problem with the NIC's arg I wasn't a
happy camper.

ok, this is driving me crazy.
first, let me catch you up to
speed.
I am installing debian on a 486 with 2 NE2000
ISA PNP NICs. During installation, I use isapnp to get one of them
initialized, and set it up as eth0 during the install. no
problems.
I set it up to use io 0x240 and irq
5
now, I use pnpdump and generate a new isapnp
file, go in and set up the two cards like this:
io 0x240 irq 3
io 0x280 irq 5
I edited the "ne" file in modutils to load eth0
and eth1, with the above settings.
I reboot, and the NE2000 module finds a card a
0x240, and then uses irq 5 for it?!?!?
At that point I had no working NIC
So I went back and set everything up to just
use one NIC, with io 0x240 and irq 3
still, the module tries to load the card as
0x240 and irq 5.
When I did the install of debian, did it create
some config file somewhere that I dont know about? Because I seem to
be making all the correct changes and my system is totally ignoring
them.
any ideas?
thanks
