by The title is the message I get from the a1.5 boot disk. Apparently,
the message is generated by the "8390.c" program, which searches for
supported cards at certain addresses.
I have two aged but serviceable cards to choose from: a 3Com Etherlink
and an Hewlett-Packard 27210A-600001. Each has done yeoman duty under
NCSA Telnet on DOS, using a 3c501 driver.
Both cards are, do the best of my determination, configured
identically:
Interrupt (IRQ) 3
DMA: ACK 1, REQ 1
I/O address: 000011 (binary)
Memory address: 00110111 (binary)
BNC connector selected
I don't have documentation for either card, so I cannot interpret the
memory addresses. Are the cards not properly addressed, or are cards
of the 3c501 type not supported by Linux?
