Have you tried inserting the proper module for your card? The support isn't built into the kernel, it's built as a loadable module. I'm not sure on the ISA version, but I believe it uses the ne.o module. After booting, try "modprobe ne" and see if it loads. You probably have to add options to the modprobe command for ISA cards. For the data you used above, something like "modprobe ne io=0x280 irq=11" should work, assuming those are the correct values for this card and your machine. Try "modinfo ne" to see possible options. - -- - -Michael pgp key: http://www.tuxfan.homeip.net:8080/gpgkey.txt Red Hat Linux 7.{2,3}|8.0 in 8M of RAM: http://www.rule-project.org/ - -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+AU0Qn/07WoAb/SsRAsAzAJ9aBfu4Wfizu3JIZQ0ghJVyenqcOACeMauk CNXQuZxTjPtVXHYQL06rjNY= =SaW4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Seawolf-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/seawolf-list
