Installing Intel Etherexpress Pro 10 ISA with RH 6.0

Installing Intel Etherexpress Pro 10 ISA with RH 6.0

Post by Jack Richin » Tue, 25 May 1999 04:00:00



I'm installing RH 6.0 and I'm having trouble getting my Intell EtherExpress
Pro 10 detected. Autodetection hangs. I copied IRQ and I/O port information
from Windows, which detects it fine. However, the RH manual shows a MEM
parameter that I should also pass the module. I can't find anything about a
memory address associated with my network card under Windows, so I've been
leaving it blank. This is what I've tried passing the module:

eepro=0x210,3
eepro=0x210,03
eepro=0x210,3,0

For all of these I get an error saying it can' find my card. I've allso
tried the eexpress drive like this:
eexpress=0x210,3.

That, of course, also doesn't work.

Any suggestions or guesses?

Was it installed on you're windows box with Plug & Play Enabled? I'm not
familiar with RH 6, but 5.1 couldn't recognize mine untill I reinstalled
the card.  Also, I think you'll have to pass the IRQ value through the
module as well. in 5.1 the file is /etc/conf.modules

alias eth0 = eepro
io=0x300 irq=5

good luck hope this helps -

I had the same problem with Slackware;
my problem was that although my ethernetcard did show up on the
right IO port and IRQ it didn't work. I usually tried to put it in with
the command
#insmod eepro io=0x300 irq=10 (it's loaded as a module)
but nothing worked
Now I can trick it in by doing these commands

#modprobe eepro io=0x200 irq=10
        (device or resource busy)
#modprobe eepro io=0x300 irq=10
#rmmod eepro
#modprobe eepro
#modprobe eepro io=0x300
#/etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 start

It looks like I have to try first to put the card into wrong IO-port
then the right one, pull it out and put it in again without giving up
the IRQ- adress
It's a tricky thing to do but I put the whole procedure into
a script and it works now...

1. Install Intel EtherExpress Pro 10/10+ ISA card on Redhat 6.1 ---Please help

Hi,

I installed RedHat 6.1 on my PC(dual boot 98/Linux). Everything is fine
exception the RedHat can't recognize my ethernet card( Intel
EtherExpress ISA Pro 10/10+). The card works fine in 98.

During the installation, RedHat couldn't detect my card at all. So I
tried to load it manually. I tried two ways:
1. I put ether=5,0x210,0,0,eth0 ( the conf in my 98) in lilo.conf, then
reboot the machine. During the boot, lilo couldn't start eth0.
2. I run lsmod, I found nothing there. I do have
/lib/modules/2.2.12-20/net/eexpro.o file, so I said insmod eexpro. The
linux hangs forever. I have to power off the machine.

What did I do wrong? Please help!

Regards,
Michael
