Hi all, Wanting to replace my prehistoric 10base-T card with something that can do 100, I bought myself a D-Link DFE-530TX and stuffed it into a free PCI slot. So I Googled for drivers and I keep being told that the card *is* supported, and uses the via-rhine drivers/module. But modprobe via-rhine fails. I do still have my old card in there as eth0 right now... I did try pulling it out, but it made no difference to the error message. My system is woody, with the 2.4.16-686 kernel. lspci shows the card as: 00:10.0 Ethernet controller: VIA Technologies, Inc.: Unknown device 3106 (rev 86) The output of modprobe via-rhine is: /lib/modules/2.4.16-686/kernel/drivers/net/via-rhine.o: init_module: No such device Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters /lib/modules/2.4.16-686/kernel/drivers/net/via-rhine.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.16- 686/kernel/drivers/net/via-rhine.o failed /lib/modules/2.4.16-686/kernel/drivers/net/via-rhine.o: insmod via-rhine failed So I'm suspecting that I need to pass it some command-line parameters, but *what* parameters? Do I need to be specifying IO or IRQ parameters, as mentioned in the hint above, and if so where do I get the values to pass to it? Thanks for any help -- ,-----------------------------------------------------------------------------. > -ScruLoose- | I was just a boy then, now I'm only a man. < > Please do not | - Pink Floyd < > reply off-list. | < `-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
