I have the PCI Planet ENW-8300 Combo ethernet card (plugged into the PCI
Slot 2 of the Matsonic MS-5025S mainboard with the Cyrix 6x86MX PR200 and
with the AMI PNP BIOS v.1.0A 07/15/95). The IRQ and I/O assigned by PCI
BIOS are 11 and 0xd800 respectively. With Debian 1.3 bo I did install the
module for EN2000 with the option io=0xd8000 and all was O.K. Now, after
the entirely new installation of the Debian 2.0 hamm (kernel 2.0.34,
without any ne2000 module - I presuppose, that the driver for the ne2000
compatibles is compiled into the kernel) at the booting time I got the
following message:

    eth0: unknown interface

I tried to use the boot prompt: 

    LILO: linux ether=11,0xd800,eth0

or the following command-line in the /etc/lilo.conf: 

    append="ether=11,0xd800,eth0"

or following args for loadlin: 

    loadlin linux root=/dev/hda4 ether=11,0xd800,eth0 ro

but all without success.

The cat /proc/pci shows the PCI eth. device OK, but neither the cat 
/proc/ioports nor cat /proc/interrupts nor cat /proc/devices.


  What to do?
