From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.76 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.2-2 i686) Description of problem: My ethernet card was properly detected and setup when I first started redhat 7.1. Internet worked fine. Then I installed the oss sounddriver and the network stopped working. I removed the oss sounddriver and the network worked again. After much fiddling I found out that making a /cat/isapnp not only lists my two isa devices (opt932 soundcard and an ethernet card) but also makes the network stop working. I believe this might be the same bug that prevents me from getting sound and network at the same time. How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.cat /proc/isapnp 2. 3. Actual Results: netscape, telnet etc. doesn't work. Expected Results: Well, netscape should have worked Additional info:
Eeep... this is scary. I'll investigate on my machine with ISA bus on monday.
>Eeep... this is scary. I'll investigate on my machine with ISA bus on monday. Please let me know how it went! I have noticed that if you start netscape before doing a cat /proc/isapnp you might be able to use it for a minute or so before the network stops.
I need to go looking for another isapnp card as the card I use for this seems to have died....
I have a ne2000 pnp card which is detected fine by pnpdump and isapnp claims to configure it but when i cat /proc/isapnp it just displays 0xFF or 0xFFFF for everything. When i "ifup eth0" it says there are two cards although I just have one card. The card doesn't work properly, and i get errors about interrupt from card that isn't active.
