Re: ethernet card IO address



Yes, the rtl8139 was the correct driver and it seems to be working now. So thank you all.

I concur.

THIS card uses the RTL8139 chipset, whose driver is (surprise,
surprise!) rtl8139.o and is definitely included in the stock 2.2.18pre21
kernel package.

Before, you had said it was an "EP-320X-V", which uses the VT86c100A
chipset, powered by the via-rhine.o driver. Looks like they use that last
letter to indicate the chipset they're using.

If it is (as you most recently said) an EP-320X-R, "modprobe rtl8139"
should get you along your way.

good times,
