1. Can't force ethernet card detection
Hi,
I have been trying to install Linux on my Pentium. Everything works
fine, I
even managed to get X running. But Linux does not detect my ethernet
card. The
ethernet card is a SMC. I looked in various Linux FAQs, and it seems
that I
can force Linux to detect the ethernet card by typing
linux ether=<irq>,<io_port>,<low_mem>,<hi_mem>,eth0
at the boot prompt for linux.
This is great, except that I didn't know what these parameters are. I
made
another partition, and installed Windows NT. And sure enough, NT
detected the
card. I looked up the diagnostics produced by NT, and got three numbers.
IRQ - 11
IO PHYSICAL ADDRESS - 0xFC80
IO LENGTH - 0x80
The documentation for Linux said that I should enter -1 for the
parametrs that
are not applicable for this card. I can't figure out which, if any, of
the
three parameters (io_port, lo_mem, hi_mem) should be set to -1, and what
the
other parametrs should be.
Can anyone out there help me with this? I do have NT running and can use
it to
connect to the outside world, but I feel crippled without some form of
Unix on
my machine.
I have no manuals for the card. I tried calling SMC, but that didn't
help.
Thanks a lot in advance for any help.
Ashish.
