HI
Though I've been using RH Linux (version 2.1) for about a year, I'm new to this
list. Linux, until recently, has been a way for me to keep my hands dirty with
fundamental code and new utilities. I earn my living as a designer for HPUX and
Solaris networks and C++ coded systems. I've been using UNIX and writing C code
since 1981 and after many thousands of lines of C, SH, AWK and PERL code,
they've made me a manager (gag!!).
In any case, I moved the RH from an old 486/33 that I gave away to a machine
that I had been using as a Novell server. The new RH machine is an HP EISA tower
with a P83 overdrive chip, 32 meg of memory, Adaptec 2740 controller, ATI Mach
32 video and an SMC Elite 32 NIC. There are NO ISA cards in the machine. The
kernel will not find the NIC and I don't know how to configure ethernet drivers
for Linux. I went looking in /dev and found no lance-ethernet (le?) or eth?
drivers. Dmesg shows no scan for the card and cat of the various /proc files
shows nothing at the address that the card is (the IRQ is also clear).
The kernel image used is 0021, which worked fine on the ISA 486/33 machine with
an SMC Elite-16 card.
I've tried all the standard stuff (ifconfig, looking for a driver to either
compile into the kernel or us insmod, ...).
The specs for the card are:
slot 3, IRQ 5, RAB @ C800:0 ... C9FF:0 , MAC 00 00 C0 9A Bf 7B, No DMA
channel used, no low memory port address used.
The EISA configuration utility will NOT allow for conflicts in DMA, IRQ or port
mapping.
Any help would be appreciated.
Bill Moss
