Well dmesg says it all.... Try not inserting the module at boot time for a change but insert it from the commandline. First remove all ne modules (if any are loaded), next try: modprobe ne io=0x2c0 irq=10 if that doesn't work try: insmod ne io=0x2c0 irq=10 (The first should work) Then do: /etc/init.d/network
And... let me know if it works. Ron On Thu, 17 Feb 2000, Patrick Kirk wrote: > Thanks for suggestion.
