Any succesful users of this NIC here?

Thanks for any feedback,
Joe

I just finished setting up a Netgear Ea201c ISA into an older i486 I had
laying
around. I connected it to my present machine (i686) which also has a
Netgear
card in it, nut it's a PCI version.

I did have some problems getting it to work at first, but I stuck with it
and I got it to work.
My problem was that it was configured as a pnp. I was told by someone
else  to use
the disk that came with the card, I had to boot DOS first to use this
disk.

I ran the software to re-configure it as a non pnp device, set the IRQ to
something
that was available on my i486 (irq10),  I t wrote down the io address that
was displayed
on the screen (ox300). I recompiled my kernel (2.2.8) to include the
NE2000/1000 driver.
I visited the Netgear site to grab some info on this card. It is a NE2000
compatible card.

After restart my new kernel, the driver seen the Netgear card, after a few
moments setting
up the proper files I was able to connect to my other machine with-out
further problems.

If you have any question I'll be glad to try and assist you.

Good luck.
