by I have tried many times now to install Redhat 5.1 on my old 486 and
some no-name ethernet (ISA) adapters. I can't ever seem to get it to
find either adapter!
I know next to nothing about Linux/UNIX, and have been using Que's
Using Linux to help me through.
I can get Linux installed, but never is it able to find the ethernet
adapters.
Incidentally, the adapters are from Hawking Technology, and I have no
idea what the "real" brand is as they are unmarked. They are "Fully
compatible with NE2000" according to the box.
I have turned off PNP and have tried a few I/O's and IRQ's, but there
are just too many options.
I have also tried using an AOpen card, but didn't spend much time on
it. I'd rather get the others working!
Please keep your replies simple as I am a newbie to Linux! I know
lots of Dos/Win/NT/OS/2, but that doesn't help here!
I'd also like to have two of the cards in my machine, so that it can
act as a server for my ADSL connection.
Thanks.
Dave
