| 204405 | 2003-12-31 07:28:00 | I have an ISA NIC (DSE Cat #XH7597). Im trying to run this on a P300 which has a broken onboard eepro100 Ethernet adapter. I cannot disable this in the BIOS. It gets picked up fine by the OS, but the connection cannot be made etc. Basically the eepro100 is a dud. Im trying to get the ISA NIC to work (sn2000 compatable - AFAIK it's using the "ne" driver). How would I go about getting it to work? lspci is obviously precious little use because its isa not pci dmesg turns up nothing about it Running: cat /proc/isa turns up a little info on the card. What to do? Cheers Chill. |

| 204406 | 2003-12-31 08:20:00 | Tried the linux driver from the DSE Site? www.dse.co.nz then click near the bottom (Drivers and Manuals obviously), choose the NIC and download V0.1 of the official Linux Drivers |

| 204409 | 2003-12-31 09:02:00 | Is it your Gentoo distro? Redhat and Mandrake seem to pick up ISA network cards ok (even Vector did). You may have to have a dummy eth0 and use eth1 (or the other way around). | Dolby Digital (160) | ||

I dont actually have ISA on my Gentoo box ;-) eth0 is already a NIC, but I dont wanna use it :-( eth1 is what its _going_ to be Downloading that Zip file just tells me what Ive already figured, I know that the io is 0x300, irq=3 I try running: ifconfig eth1 up 192.168.0.12 Then pinging 192.168.0.12 works, but not pinging 192.168.0.1 If I type: ping -I eth1 192.168.0.1, I get: ping: bad interface address 'eth1' That's a capital -i BTW Any ideas? Chill. |

| 204411 | 2004-01-03 01:41:00 | ifconfig eth1 192.168.0.12 up might work better ... just a thought. Anyway, ifconfig with no arguments will tell you what the system knows. If you have an onboard "card" which doesn't work, put a "alias eth0 null' in /etc/modules/conf . (assuming that all your NICs are compiled as modules). dmesg will say if the card is recognised. "ne" can be a problem ... you might have to have an "option ne io=0x300 irq=3" in grub or the equivalent in lilo. |
