RE: Intel PRO100
Hello,
Thank you for your help.
I have tried modconf as suggested, below is the error that came up,
Installing module eepro100. If the device isn't there, or isn't configured
correctly,
this could cause your system to pause for up to a minute.
Warning: /lib/modules/2.2.20-idepci/net/eepro100.o symbol for parameter
debug
not found
/lib/modules/2.2.20-idepci/net/eepro100.o: init_module: Device or resource
busy
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters,
including invalid IO or IRQ parameters
/lib/modules/2.2.20-idepci/net/eepro100.o: insmod
/lib/modules/2.2.20-idepci/net/eepro100.o failed
/lib/modules/2.2.20-idepci/net/eepro100.o: insmod eepro100 failed
Installation failed.
To be more specific the e100 NIC is on board. My board is Intel D845G
chipset.
The onboard NIC works fine under NT2000, and is listed as
Intel (R) PRO/100 VE PCI bus 2, device 8, function 0
Memory Range FEAFF000 - FEAFFFFF
I/O Range DC00 - DC3F
IRQ 20
Could anyone suggest how can I get the eepro100 module working on this
board.
Perhaps there are some optional params that I should specify when loading
the module?
I know I can specify IRQ and IO, which I tried unsuccessfully, but I am
unsure of the correct syntax for bus number or device number.
Regards
MarkZ

Excellent! Thanks. But unfortunately that only does the modules and
not the network configuration. But good enough for a start.
MarkZ, ignore what I said before about /etc/modules. Instead do this
as the root user.
modconf
Then scroll down to this and select it.
kernel/drivers/net Drivers for network interface cards
Then scroll down to this and select it.
eepro100 - EtherExpress Pro/100 support
It should do the modprobe itself and if it found your card you are
good to go. Exit out of that.
Now all that is needed is the network setup helper. DHCP, yes or no,
etc.
