Sarge & ISA NE2000

[Chris Phillips <xhrisphillips@yahoo.com.au>]

Hi all,

I have just installed Sarge on my old PII at home
(after the fedora upgrade trashed the system).

The system is up and running, however I cannot figure
out how to get the ISA NE2000 ethernet card working
properly.

If I do a 
 > modprobe ne io=0x340 irq=9
 > ifup eth0

Everything works fine. However, if (for example) I
just do a
 > modprobe ne

I get the error:
ne.c: You must supply "io=0xNNN" value(s) for ISA
cards.

However, in /etc/modules.conf I have the line

options ne io=0x340 irq=9

Which I thought should do the same time. Can anyone
suggest what I am doing wrong?

Cheers
Chris
