>From /usr/doc/HOWTO/Ethernet-HOWTO.gz: Various clone manufacturers have started making PCI ne2000 clones based on the RealTek 8029 chip. These cards are also supported by the linux ne2000 driver for v2.0 kernels. However you only benefit from the faster bus interface, as the card is still using the age-old ne2000 driver interface. Later in the file: Recently two other PCI NE2000 clones have appeared, those being cards based upon the Winbond 89C940 chip, and the Compex ReadyLink-2000 cards. The ne2000 driver in v2.0.x doesn't know about the PCI ID's of these cards, and hence won't detect them without an explicit I/O address being given at boot. (See the FAQ section on NE2000 cards for more details on dealing with an undetected PCI card.) Support for these additional cards has already been written and will appear in a v2.1.x kernel sometime in the near future, so that they will then be autodetected as well. If you have a NE2000 PCI card that is not a RealTek, Winbond, or Compex ReadyLink, please contact the maintainer of the NE2000 driver as listed in /usr/src/linux/MAINTAINERS. That way the ID of your card can also be added to the driver. Hope this helps. -- Ben Pfaff <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
