Ok, a few things I'm having trouble with.
1) I can't get into my BIOS. I've tried, but I think I killed the access prcedure. I have put a new hard drive in this machine so it doesn't behave like the Compaq website tells me to. It says to hit F10, but that doesn't do anything. If anyone knows about Compaqs, I have a Presario CDS 982 (about 5 years old)
2) I have a USB card plugged into another PCI slot, and it is getting an IRQ assigned. I don't know why this card is not. The output looks similar for the two cards:
~# cat /proc/pci
...
Bus 0, device 19, function 0:
USB Controller: VIQ Technologies, Inc. UHCI USB (rev 4).
IRQ 11.
Master Capable. Latency=66.
I/O at 0x1880 [0x181f].
Bus 0, device 20, function 0:
Ethernet controller: PCI device 1317:0984 (Bridgecom, Inc) (rev 17).
Master Capable. Latency=66. Min Gnt=254.Max Lat=255.
I/O at 0x1000 [0x10ff].
Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0x10000000 [0x100003ff].
Like I said, I don't kno why there is no IRQ for the NIC. I've tried compiling the code you sent me, I'm attaching the output I got back. I used the command I found in the readme file on the disk. I used the code you sent me though...
