Not surprising - the tulip driver was almost totally rewritten for 2.4.x and I'm sure there are still some cases where it doesn't work like the 2.2.x driver did. > I checked ifconfig and it told me that my ethernet card has a base > address: > 0x7000 and an interrupt of 10. > > When I type modprobe tulip io=0x7000 irq=10 it says that this is an > invalid io_parm. Not needed with PCI cards; since tulip cards are pci only, tulip.o doesn't know what io= and irq= mean. > I do not know if it helps, but it also says that the MMIO region > unavailable, aborting. That means that the card was detected but the driver couldn't use the resources the PCI bus set the card for.

Posting the dmesg output after a failed driver load would be a great place to start :) - -- - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Phil Brutsche [EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG fingerprint: 9BF9 D84C 37D0 4FA7 1F2D 7E5E FD94 D264 50DE 1CFC GPG key id: 50DE1CFC GPG public key: http://tux.creighton.edu/~pbrutsch/gpg-public-key.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE6pyfZ/ZTSZFDeHPwRAmSQAKDielaLiThDCw2bPTmocWXOSAyJnACg3J9B T8LpPbX9Q0yQVk53EZovviw= =wh2c -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
