This card should use the wd driver. ISA cards don't auto-probe especially well so you probably have to tell the kernel which IRQ and memory address to use. I have the following in /etc/modutils/ethernet: alias eth0 wd options wd io=0x280 irq=11 (don't forget to run update-modules after editing files in /etc/modutils) The trick is finding the correct IRQ and IO addresses. Cards of that vintage typically can have either jumper configuration or an eeprom that is programmed with a DOS utility (this can fit on a boot disk), or both. The Linux Ethernet HOWTO has a pretty good section on the 8013. HTH dt -- Dave Thayer | If trees could scream, would we be so cavalier about Denver, Colorado USA | cutting them down?
