I have two of these devices at present, One in a windows box and the other
in my Linux machine. Both working OK. From memory I needed a kernel version
greater than 2.0.29 to enable the Linux one. Below has been cut from my
/proc/pci
PCI devices found:
Bus 0, device 12, function 0:
VGA compatible controller: S3 Inc. ViRGE/DX or /GX (rev 1).
Medium devsel. IRQ 10. Master Capable. Latency=32. Min Gnt=4.Max
Lat=255.
Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xe0000000.
Bus 0, device 9, function 0:
Ethernet controller: Winbond NE2000-PCI (rev 0).
Medium devsel. Fast back-to-back capable. IRQ 11.
I/O at 0x6100.
The I/O address and irq can be set via software only, no jumpers that I
recall.
Let me know how you get on.
John.
