My friend has a compaq presario 1700 with a bultin ehternet card on the pci bus. It may or may not be combined with a modem on the same card. We cannot get the network card to work (potato install, kernel 2.2.17).
Looking around at the kharker laptop site at various other compaq presarios, I think the card should work with either the tulip, eexpress100 (EtherExpressPro/100). /proc/pci says the vendor and model are unknown. It says irq is 9 and io port is 0x1400 [0x1401]. This sounds a bit high. Am I reading /proc/pci correctly? I can't seem to specify irq or io port to the above modules, and neither of them work. The laptop is a custom ordred thing so it may not have the same hardware as other compaq 1700's. Any ideas though? Thanks. -- Pat Mahoney <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> If puns were deli meat, this would be the wurst.
