Driver to use for NIC integrated in Compaq Prosignia VS 4/66
Hi,
I have a Compaq Prosignia VS, 486DX/2 66, which has an motherboard with
a SCSI controller (sim710) and a NIC integrated. This is an ISA/EISA
system, no PCI-support. The NIC seems to be a AMD PCnet32, because I see
the AMD 79C965 chip on the motherboard, but I can get the module
pcnet32.o to recognize this NIC. It looks like the pcnet32.o module only
supports PCI connected NICs of AMD PCnet32-make. Is this correct?
I've google'd quite a lot to find out which driver I should use. I see
some comparable/same machines that use the pcnet.o module, some using
the tlan.o module and sometimes see suggestions that the lance.o module
might work. I've tried them all, on self-compiled kernels and with stock
woody kernels. The stock woody kernels however don't have sim710-support
builtin, so if I want to install I'll have to use a custom-kernel.
I still have the original System Configuration Utility partition on the
machine, and this tells me the NIC's io-address is 0x8800, and the IRQ
is 10 (Level Triggered).
Can anybody tell me if there is a driver supporting the PCnet32 NIC on
an EISA bus, and if so which driver?
Thanks in advance, Erik Laan.
