Re: ne driver in kernel 2.2



Hi Ross,
	Sorry I missed your thread initially. If isapnp doesn't work (I never 
knew to try it) try this. I use insmod and it works fine where modprobe 
totally fails for some reason. 

	modprobe 8390
	insmod io=0x260 irq=5

I added this line to /etc/modutils/actions (modified for you)
	post-install 8390 insmod ne

That line fixed everything for me. Hope this helps if nothing else does!
