Help with Linksys Ether16 Lan card
Im trying to get my Linksys Ether16 ISA non-PnP Lan card working under Mandrake 7.0. Apparently, when I boot up, linux does not detect the card. I have recompiled the kernel with the ne2000 driver suggested by the linksys web site. Anyone else have any success with this card? Im too lazy to buy a pci card.
What IRQ/IOport do you have set on the card? It has to one that's free and you might also need to the the bios to reserve that IRQ for ISA use.

oops,
I forgot something
"jlevie" is correct, you should check to see how the LinkSys card is currently configured. You may need to force new settings. Do you have the utility diskette that came with the card?
And as "jlevie" said, make sure you check your bios settings to enable that IRQ for ISA cards.
Thanks

Thanks for the tips, both of you. Ill give linuxconf a try. The card is on irq 9 port 0x300. It has no trouble in windows98 if that has any relevance.
