STILL a DE-422 problem (RedHat 3.0.3 -> DEC/Alpha 2000 AXP 300)

Hello there (again),

I still haven't found out what's wrong with my ethernet DE-422 EISA
card... At DIgital they can't tell me anything new... I've been looking
on the net for quite some time and really don't know what to do... at
<http://nswt.tuwien.ac.at:8000/htdocs/ldp/HOWTO/Module-HOWTO-7.html>
they tell me

_______________________________________________________________
DEPCA, DE10x, DE200, DE201, DE202, DE422 support (depca.o).

Load command:
        /sbin/modprobe depca.o

        io = 0x200
        irq = 7
        (Probes ports:  ISA:  0x300, 0x200;
                        EISA: 0x0c00            )
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now, could it be a problem that my card uses IRQ 5 as a standard? I can
see (in ECU). I've been trying to use the "ether=irq,port number, par_1,
par_2,eth0" but that didn't work either...

Apart from that, I've been trying to do "modprobe depca.o":
--> Can't open dependancies file /lib/modules/1.3.89/modules.dep (No
such file or directory).

I've been searching the whole disk for the file, but it seems to be
missing, after a complete install (?)! ...

Is there ANYONE who knows a solution or at least a good step in the
right direction? I keep trying and trying, but there isn't much I
haven't done already. For some stupid reason Linux RedHat won't see my
ethernet card. I'm wondering if there's a solution to this problem...

Also, please tell if RedHat 4.0 doesn't have this problem.... then I'll
purchase that one immediately. But I have to be sure though...

*sigh* ... installing stuff isn't easy....



    Maurice Castelijn.
