RE: [newbie] Network Card- Please Help!!!
HI RIP, All the Web doesn't know ALL THE WEB, :-) here's a site that has deep, secret info on NICS - from NASA http://cesdis1.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/ Regards, Sean http://www.sjptech.com -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Ripcrd6 Sent: Friday, September 10, 1999 8:04 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] Network Card- Please Help!!! I did a search at www.alltheweb.com and came up with *only* this one direct hit. See below for the cut and paste. Check out the page on configuring nics for info on this card. It is a D-Link and has NE2000 compatible chips on it. Brian Subject: Re: PCI Eth Card w/ IRQ=5?Date: 17 Jun 1999 22:36:04 -0500 go to a dos machine and turn plug'n'play off and hard set the cards to the irq and io that you want... then you will be find I've found this to work with ISA cards, not PCI cards. I just did a fresh install of RH 6 today and got a new D-Link DFE-530 TX PCI 10/100 nic working with the via-rhine kernel module. If you *really* need to turn off PNP and manually set IRQs, then try an ISA D-Link DE-220 PCT nic, after using its DOS configure program to disablePNP.

I've asked about this before but I still need help. I'm brand new to Linux and don't know much about it, but my DE-220 PCT NIC isn't working with the installer program.. Could someone tell me what I should do to get it to work? That would be SOO awesome if you would! -Kyle Spahn

Hi Kyle, I guess some government sites have some good stuff on them this is from NASA, the ins and outs of basically any NIC card as they configure them http://cesdis1.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/ Regards, Sean http://www.sjptech.com -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Sean Pritchard Sent: Friday, September 10, 1999 8:09 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] Network Card- Please Help!!!

That would be SOO awesome if you would! -Kyle Spahn Hi Hyle - don't worry about configuring it during installation. Is this an ISA or PCI version of the D-link 220? IN any case this should work fine I'll use the Gnome Desktop for working on this in Root... Open "Control Panel" from the Main Menu under "System" Click on the "LinuxConf" Icon (the conductor withe the blue shirt)... On the Config page of Linuxconf (the first page revealed) press on "Networking"... From the next window press "Basic host information"... Under "Host name" this is where one could change the name of their host machine from localhost to something they prefer to call their PC Select "Adapter 1" page, unless this is your modem configuration select an alternative page Make sure "Enabled" selected, "Dhcp" is selected. I am not sure of your network setup, or if you might be on cable internet access like myself, but that shouldn't matter at this point... so disregard Primary Domain-Aliases-IP address (unless you have a fix static address you need to use), disregard Netmask... For " Net device" if this is your only NIC Card select "eth0" from the list. Next is the Kernel module selection - if the card is an ISA 16bit then select "NE" from the list or alternatively "NE-2k pci" for a PCI card Come to think of it I don't recall there being a DE-220 pci, it must be ISA, I had one in my machine 2 weeks ago before upgrading to a DFE-530TX pci Note for anyone using the D-Link 10/100 - DFE-530TX the kernel module to use is not listed in the Linuxconf, and is not recognzable at installation because it uses a different kernel driver - these cards use the "via-rhine" module simply type in "via-rhine" in the Kernel module option, for this card I/O and IRQ aren't neccessary to input for configuration. Two last things to do for configuring. input the mem base address I/O port the card is using and the IRQ number. Hit "Accept", Quit out of Linuxconf - Activate changes as exiting. Here are some final quick tests to see if it installed. Open a terminal type " lsmode" that comand will produce a list of modules running on your system, the most recent should be the "ne" we configured. Second from the same terminal now type "ifconfig" a list of two items should come up "lo" and "eth0" If they do that's great, if they don't there's one more thing we may need to do, and wouldn't hurt to do any at this point.. from the terminal again type "/etc/rc.d/init.d/network restart" you should see your "lo" and "eth0" refresh themselves, if they came up on this command then you're all set. Hope I was of help, Regards, Sean sj.Pritchard Technical Services http://www.sjptech.com
