A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far way, someone said... > Would modprobe ne2k-pci io=0x300 irq=11 work when:
For PCI cards (indicated by the fact that you're using the driver ne2k=pci) you don't need to bother with io= and irq= statements on the command line. All that information is read from the PCI configuration space when the driver loads. In other words all you need to do is 'modprobe ne2k-pci' to get the driver to load. If the ethernet card gets a 255 IRQ, then it's possible that you need to change the setting that looks something like "PnP OS" (that's how it appears on my computer) to "None" or "No". Setting "PnP OS" to "On" or "Yes" only makes sense with Win95 and it's derivatives. You can also try the card in another PCI slot. > > cat /proc/io... > 0000-001f : dma1 > 0020-003f : pic1 > 0040-005f : timer > 0060-006f : keyboard > 0070-007f : rtc > 0080-008f : dma page reg > 00a0-00bf : pic2 > 00c0-00df : dma2 > 00f0-00ff : npu > 0170-0177 : ide1 > 01f0-01f7 : ide0 > 02c0-02df : NE2000 > 02f8-02ff : serial(set) > 0376-0376 : ide1 > 03c0-03df : vga+ > 03f0-03f5 : floppy > 03f6-03f6 : ide0 > 03f7-03f7 : floppy DIR > 03f8-03ff : serial(set) > > cat /proc/interrupts > 0: 16539 timer > 1: 2 keyboard > 2: 0 cascade > 8: 2 + rtc > 10: 305 NE2000 > 13: 1 math error > 14: 14481 + ide0 > 15: 0 + ide1 > > > -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Phil Brutsche [EMAIL PROTECTED] "There are two things that are infinite; Human stupidity and the universe.
