Help on modules please
Hello list;
Sorry if those goes to the wrong list or people, and for it being to
long. I have a serious problem with this, or better said, with myself. I
don't know what to do and m time is sort of running out. I managed to
find out some more information about what I have and what I need. lets
see, to start off with, this list bellow is all which I know about my
ethernet cards:
Ethernet Card Type Module I/O IRQ It has to be
-----------------------------------------------------------
Ethernet Card 1 ISA ne 0x320 09 eth0
Ethernet Card 2 ISA ne 0x200 03 eth1
Ethernet Card 3 ISA ne 0x280 15 eth2
Things I have tried list:
1. By using the command "modprobe", I inserted the three network cards
in seperatly. Then I executed modprobe -c to see if it had got the
changes, unfortunatly, it didn't work.
modprobe ne io=0x320 irq=09 [Enter]
modprobe ne io=0x200 irq=03 [Enter]
modprobe ne io=0x280 irq=15 [Enter]
2. By using the command "modprobe", I inserted the three networl cards
on the same line. Then I executed modprobe -c to see if it had got the
changes, unfortunatly, iy didn't work.
modprobe ne io=0x320,0x200,0x280 irq=09,03,15 [Enter]
3. I edited the file /etc/conf.modules so that the options set were as
follows:
-------
#alias <whatever you don't have that kerneld complains about> off
options ne io=0x320,0x200,0x280 irq=09,03,15
path[boot]=/lib/modules
-------
Then I rebooted the system, but it didn't work.
4. I edited the file /etc/conf.modules so that the options set were as
follows:
-------
#alias <whatever you don't have that kerneld complains about> off
options ne io=0x320 irq=09
options ne io=0x200 irq=03
options ne io=0x280 irq=15
path[boot]=/lib/modules
-------
Then I rebooted the system, but it didn't work. This time it booted the
last ethernet card and not the first
5. I edited the file /etc/conf.modules so that the options set were as
follows:
-------
#alias <whatever you don't have that kerneld complains about> off
options ne io=0x320 irq=09
path[boot]=/lib/modules
options ne io=0x200 irq=03
path[boot]=/lib/modules
options ne io=0x280 irq=15
path[boot]=/lib/modules
-------
Then I rebooted the system, but it didn't work. This time it booted the
last ethernet card and not the first
6. I edited the file /etc/modules so that the options set were as
follows:
------
# auto
ne io=0x320,0x200,0x280 irq=09,03,15
------
Then I rebooted the system, but it didn't work.
7. I edited the file /etc/modules so that the options set were as
follows:
------
# auto
ne io=0x320 irq=09
ne io=0x200 irq=03
ne io=0x280 irq=15
------
Then I rebooted the system, but it didn't work.
Here bellow you will find three files. They are in the order of
etc/modules, /etc/conf.modules and /etc/init.d/network . I have copied
them here mainly so that you may see what my configuration settings are
stated as.

# /etc/modules: kernel modules to load at boot time.
#
# This file should contain the names of kernel modules that are
# to be loaded at boot time, one per line. Comments begin with
# a '#', and everything on the line after them are ignored.
# An entry named 'auto' will cause the system to start kerneld
inmediatly.
# Kerneld then loads modules on demand. 'noauto' disables kerneld
completely.
