ne.o ethernet card driver no longer finds NE2000 clone card
Last modified: 2008-05-01 11:37:50 EDT
I have an NE2000 clone ethernet card that works fine with 5.2 but is not found with 6.0. In both OS versions I have the io=240 and irq=10 (this is on the same computer) and 6.0 never finds the card.
Could you please let us know whose brand of clone NE2000 this is? The only ones we have here work fine. ------- Email Received From Steven Danz <sdanz@awc.kc.noaa.gov> 05/19/99 00:55 -------
Stupid comment, but worked for me: It should be io=0x240 and irq=10
Comment from the e-mail message follows. Bug closed. Aww phooey. I'm feelin' pretty stupid even filing this right about now. 6.0 and my network card work just fine, so close this as soon as you would like. Just shows how 5+ years of working with Linux can be forgotten by staying up too late at night trying out the new release ;-) -Steven Oh yeah, the solution. The problem is in the mail message, I didn't want to set io=240, it needs to be io=0x240!
