Very Computer

Hi There!

I have a combo ethernet card (NE2000) for which I can't configure the media
type (BNC or Twisted Pair) with the DOS configuration tool. I can't connect to
the internet, but it doesn't seems to be an error of IRQ or I/O. These
parameters are set up properly.

I wonder if there is anything how I can tell linux to use the 10BaseT
connector?

Matthias

-------/etc/conf.modules-------------
alias eth0 8390
alias eth0 ne
options ne io=0x340 irq=10 xcvr=X              #X=0 if using BNC X=1 for
AUI/UTP
-------------------------------------

Note: I have never verfied that this works.. my ne2000 is setable via
options. But this information came from /boot/module-info-2.0.30 for a
3C503 which I have used before so it *should* work. If you're not using
modules, ie: pre 2.X kernels then this info could be passed to the
kernel using LILO

Hope that this helps
Regards
Bill

If you have a real NE2000+ or another board that uses the NatSemi 83905 I've
written a setup program that may work to set the transceiver type:
