Re: Linksys EtherFast 10/100 v5 has no IRQ



I have a Linksys Etherfast 10/100, I think it's revision 3, though. All you 
should need to do is enable the driver in the kernel, compile, then, if you 
compile it as a module (I compile it statically), you'll need to make modules 
and make modules-install, and modprobe/insmod the module. Turn off PnP OS in 
your BIOS if it's on.

Hope it helps,
Deven G.

 Interesting.  I didn't even look at the disk that came with my new
 card, but my old one had the then-current source on it.  I never even
 needed the latest source, the version that came with whatever kernel I
 was running worked fine.
