I'm using Linux Mandrake 7.1 and I'm trying to get
my network card recognized but the following ends
up in /var/log/messages

WARNING: The PCI BIOS assigned this NE2K card to
IRQ 0, which is unlikely to work
eth0: RealTek RTL-8029 found at 0xfca0, IRQ 0, ...

This is running on a Compaq 4508 and I also run
Windows 98 which finds the card at IO 1020h-103Fh
and IRQ 10 and networking with my other PCs works
fine.

I tried to go into the BIOS to setup an IRQ but
there's no setting. I read elsewhere the IRQ is
not needed(?) for PCI anyways under Linux.

The card is showing up in /proc/pci but I have an
unreachable network.

Anything I should be doing?

thanks,
brian

Hi. Yesterday I was having the same trouble with a Compaq 4508 while
installing Corel Linux. Going into the BIOS and turning off Plug N'
Play solved the problem. The next time I booted to Linux, the nic was
assigned IRQ 10 and is working perfectly.
