We use DE-220T cards at work. Assuming (bad idea, I know) that the
difference between the DE-220PCT and DE-220T is only the network connector:
- Use the NE2000 driver.
- Use the DOS-based SETUP.EXE or SETUP220.EXE program from the driver
diskette to set the I/O address and IRQ on the card to something
that's not already used by Linux.
- Tell the NE2000 driver about that I/O address and IRQ by using an
appropriate "ether=" line at boot time (or in lilo.conf).
(I'm not at work, but from memory it's something like
"ether=0x300,10,eth0", for I/O address 0300 and IRQ 10.)
If that doesn't work, what does the kernel say about the card during bootup?
Matt.
