Hi,
Thanks to all who responded to my first (very incomplete) question!
I have now disabled PnP on the card and set IRQ to 10 and io to 300. IRQ
10 is set to ISA (not Pnp) in Bios. Donald Beckers el3-diag report the
card to be OK, se below.
What I was trying to do was to compile the 3c509 driver hard into the
kernel with "modconf" and was geting only errors. Many suggested to load
the driver as a module insteed so I have put the line "alias eth0 3c509"
in to the file "conf.modules" via update-modules command. But I still get:
On Boot
eth0 unknown interface
When I check modprobe
# This file was generated by: modprobe -c (2.1.121)
[Deletia]
# Aliases
alias eth0 3c509
alias eth0 off
[Deletia]
The first line about 3c509 looks like mine but where does the "off"
command come from?
After running el3-diag, insmod and modprobe I am for some reason able to
run "modconf" and put the driver in to the kernel but on reboot the
process stops at "3c509", only a CTRL+C makes it continue.
After running insmod "3c509", modprobe "3c509", ifconfig ... and route
... everything looks fine, se below, but I can't get a connection/ping
other computers on my local network. The settings in ifconfig and route
disappears after a reboot, I presume this is not right.
TIA
Regards,
Fredrik Jonsson
