Re: [newbie] Ethernet Adapter
I have decided that most likely LANstar is a hoe-dunk poe-dunk company and doesn't support linux. So I put in my other NIC, a 3com 3c900 "Boomarang". Now I found the source drivers for it and compiled and installed the module. But I don't know where to go from here, I dont' know how to see if the module itself is working. I am taking that it is not, due tot he fact that the network light on the hub isn't turned out. I do however see the card as a device my bios picks up when I restart my computer. It is a PCI, 10Mb/s card. Yet again, any and all help would be much appreciated. Thanks. You will most likely need to compile a modual for linux. Go to the LANstar site and check to see if they support linux. Or you can look on your install disk. I am not familiar with LANStar, but not all of the makers support linux. You will have to check with the maker. Or alternately purchase a lan card for whom there is support provided with linux.

[newbie] No parallel ports problem
I'm having trouble getting my parallel port to function correctly. I am running Mandrake 5.3 with the 2.2.1 kernel. Running printtol it warns me that no /dev/lp0, /dev/lp1, or /dev/lp2 were detected. Under /proc/parport there are no entries. I have compiled parallel printer support into my kernel as well as parallal device support. I have tried setting my BIOS parallel port mode to Normal, ECP, EPP, and ECP+EPP with no apparent difference. The default parallel port IRQ (as reported by my bios) is 7. I noticed in /proc/interrupts 7 is listed as assigned to nothing. Any ideas? Thanks! Stephen Anderson [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. G'day A lot of these NIC are NEC2000 compatible, like two of mine from different manufactures, try the NEC2000 PCI, and see what happens, assuming it is a PCI, if not yes the no PCI.
