Apparently it's pnp, so how do I find out the io > port with isapnp. I didn't see that in the manpage. try pnpdump -c > /etc/isapnp.conf this will try to auto-configure your pnp stuff (the use of pnp imho) then run 'isapnp /etc/isapnp.conf' and you will see the io's and irq's allocated by your pnp devices, your nic should be listed there. then you can do a modprobe ne2000 io=0x### with the io listed by isapnp for your nic, possibly you need to specify irq too, though usually autodetected
if auto-config fails (for some difficult pnp configs), run pnpdump > /etc/isapnp.conf and edit /etc/isapnp.conf by hand, uncomment the right things, and run isapnp as described above, then you maybe have to read some isapnp docs, but autoconfig usually works. -- ,-------------------------------------------. > Name: Alson van der Meulen < > Personal: [EMAIL PROTECTED] < > School: [EMAIL PROTECTED] < `-------------------------------------------' Where's the GUI on this thing? ---------------------------------------------
