Re: Network Card
heres the trick with getting a plug and play network card going on your
Linux box. its a little bit down and dirty but it works really good.
first, get a dos boot disk and boot your computer from floppy.
then use the installation disk supplied with the NE2000 card.
you should have a couple of options in there to change the card from
plug-'n play to standard or Dos mode.
goto the non plug-'n play mode.
it should ask you for some addresses to set the card to.
I like to use the x300 and 10 for the base memory and IRQ, they are usually
open on most machines unless you have a scsi card on that address, then you
will have to use something else.
exit the software and WRITE the new settings to the card. (should be
automatic)
reboot to linux:
add the modprobe ne2000 x300 command to your bootfile and reboot again..
should work nicely if there arent any conflicts.
and it is pretty quick and easy to do.
good luck
Kent
