Mmm I'm holding an old ISA network card here. Somehow I have to find out the I/O values and the IRQ. I know some of the driver disks have tools to check that out.

Guess what? This is an old one, just a normal NE2000 compatible, and I don't have any of those driver disks.

Is there a general tool to check this out?
Would save me some BS.

Thanks in advance.

most i've seen are irq 3 i/o 300 by default.

would help to find the model name and the diagnostic program to mess with it.

you might wanna try this google search: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&q=ne2000+generic+diagnostic+isa

Okay, I found another old driver disk with a configuration tool for this NIC. I'm using Debian and during the install I set the IRQ to 10.
Now, with this config tool for my network card I set it to IRQ3 and I'm wondering how to change it in Debian.
I found /etc/modutils/ne and changed the irq there, and did a restart. If I do a ifconfig eth0 it's still set to irq10.
What is the right procedure to change the irq???
thanks in advance
