I have 1 Ethernet card (manufacturer installed) in my Dell Optiplex GX Pro 200mhz (64RAM, 3 gig HD) machine. I went to KDE Control Center - Information - PCI and found info there on my card: Bus 1 Ethernet Conroller: 3Com 3C905 IRQ 19, I/O at 0excc0 [0excc1] above is abbreviated info. lib/modules/2.2.14-15mdksecure/net has both 3c90x.o and 3c59x.0 drivers. I've tried a couple of things: 1) I used DrakConf to set ethernet card 1 to DHCP and eth0. I used 'etherconfig' and it said 'card already configured' then 'card found' and highlighted 'DECchip 21052' in the list (which actually matches a listing in KDE Ctrl Panel-info-pci for Bus 0 device PCI Bridge DEC CD21052. I tried that and it didn't work. So I went to 'etherconfig' again and set the list to '3Com 3C905'. Still no luck. 2) I set up the card with DrakConf - Network Configuration - Basic Host Information and added i/o address and irq. Set it to DHCP /etc/conf.modules has the following lines, first time without 2nd line. alias eth0 3c90x options 3c90x io=0xecc irq=19 On boot up, I get these messages Bringing up interface eth0 delaying eth0 initialization ifconfig shows only loopback If I do 'ifup eth0' I get the Delaying initialization message If I do 'ifup eth0' after using etherconfig and DrakConf it works (no error msg) Then ifconfig still shows only loopbak info (lo) 'ifconfig eth0' shows stuff but no IP assigned if I assign an IP with ifconfig, it will show up with the inconfig (no arg) command, but then it's not the address assigned by DHCP from DSL router. When an ethernet cable from my hub is connected to either card, the green light on the card comes on solid. My G3 Powerbook connects to internet through hub just fine. Is it an issue with kernel being secure? Maybe something to do with pnp BIOS? (I wasn't really able to figure out how to turn it off in Windows, I started up with Windows95 and went into System Configuration mode, but there weren't really any options for that.) Help please.

Re: [[newbie] ETHERNET CARD PROBLEM]
Thanks Thalliox, I really appreciate your step by step help. I did the insmod command like Mr Scott Tyson advised but it gave 3c509.o error. invalid io. what does this error means? wrong i/o port? the win98/2000 shows that it uses 210 but the modprobe showed that it uses 300...

Re: [newbie] ETHERNET CARD PROBLEM
Hi Mark, Thanks for the advice. On the video card, during installation, I've set to 640x480 at 8bit color depth. I thought as long as the X will start I can troubleshoot anything later after successful installation. Now, my display is at 1024x768 at 16bit color and suprisingly it works... however, it still refused to work on 800x600 at 32bit color. I suspect this could be the sync problem. I guess there's more research I need to do on this. On the Ethernet card, which flavors of Linux do the same way as ms-win? And how to set the IRQ manually on Linux? Thanks Have a nice day.

Re: [newbie] ETHERNET CARD PROBLEM
In my experience with 3Com ethernet cards the IRQ's can be set manually with the jumpers on the cards. I suspect that RH and probably Mandrake will share these characteristics since it's a networking commonality. Give it a shot. I had to do the same thing with my 3Com Modem that I'm using. Mandrake and RH picked it up perfectly, but Win95 and 98 forced me to manually set the jumpers. It was the weirdest thing.

If it has the other driver in there too, that could be messing up the card.
