>>>>>>>>>>>>>>. I bought some cheap PNP ide ne2000 compatible crds to setup a small net work. My bios does not seeem to recognise the cards, but it does see my pnp sound card. Is there anything I can do via debian to use these cards? The cards are made by LanStar. They were only $12 each so it won't break me if they are junk. But any help is appreciated. By the way I only have or use Gnu/Debian, so a solution involving other os's is not viable. Thanks
------------------------------------------------------ I assume they are Isa cards. PCI cards shouldn't do this! We had a similar problem here. By first putting the cards in a different computer (with a bios that would find the cards....your problem IS THE BIOS!) we ran the dos configure utility that came with the cards. Then the card was yanked out and put in the first computer...where it now worked! I guess there is flash rom on the card that must be programed first before it will work. == Amateur Radio, when all else fails! http://www.qsl.net/wa2mze Debian Gnu Linux, Live Free or ..... _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?
