Accton En1661 NIC & RedHat 5.0

Post by shafii abdulla » Wed, 20 May 1998 04:00:00



Hello,

I just install RedHat 5.0. However, the Linux simply couldn't
find the NIC even I put it as NE2000 compatible.

On win 95, the card work & with I/O base = 0x200 & IRQ = 10
Even I specify those value in linux, the card couldn't be found.

Who ever had experience before, please share it with me.

Thanking U in advance,

If the card is PnP and came with a DOS utility to set the I/O base and IRQ
did you use it? (Just checking) Did you compile in the NE2000 driver? Have
you tried passing its resources on the command line? I use lilo and had to
use the append command for my D-Link card. You might want to try adding the
following to your lilo.conf file:  append = "ether=10,0x200,eth0"

1. Pb Installing an Accton EN1661 ISA Adapter

Hi,

I try to install the redhat 6.1 on a ibm 300 GL box.

Everything just goes fine 'till I try to install the adapters ( got two
for a proxy).

Both cards are Accton EN1661 (MPX) ISA

I've downloaded drivers for scounix on the accton site, I've been told
they're fine for Linux.

But Linux can't read the data on the floppy !

I've read these cards are similar to NE2000 but I got the "device not
found or busy" message when I try this.

With the drivers I've tried the setup.exe and the 1step.exe in order to
switch the pnp of the card off but these progs (under NT) don't do
anything.
The first tell me there's already a card installed even if I've trashed
it up.
And the second tell me there's no such card even if I've installed it
under NT !

What can i do ?

Is it worth to take time tryin' to wipe out the pnp of the card or
these cards ain't suported by my Linux version anyway ?

On the redhat site this card doesn't appear on the hardware
compatibility list but some help files tell it is similar to NE2000.

Any help will be appreciated.

thanx.
