Linksys card probs... details..

[gus]

I just got an ISA ether16 LAN card from linksys. It says that it's NE2k compatible. I'm running redhat 7.0.

For I/O ports it says to try 300 or 320 or 340. and for IRQs, the manual says to try 3,5,10, or 11.

I put in 0x300 for I/O and tried 5 and 11 for IRQ. no luck.. it won't recognize the card. I'm doing all this in netconf. I just want to stick a 192.168 address on it.. don't want to do any DHCP or anything. Does anyone have this one working? How should I go about getting it to work?

Thanks.
Gus

Most ISA cards come with a dos configuration utility on the driver diskette (or downloadable) that you can use to disable PnP (if applicable) and to change the irq and i/o to ones that are available on your system.

Check to see if you have this utility.

cat /proc/ioports
cat /proc/interrupts
cat /proc/pci

should tell you what's being used.
