the NE2000 - it WORX.
well, i did it.
i reran 95 and the card did exactly same prob there.
(it worked before)
i checked the bios.
turns out the BIOS has a "PnP OS" option there.
for the 95 to work with the card this option must be ON.
linux detects it ONLY if the option is OFF, unless u run ISAPnP.
so since 95 wanted the PnP OS on for it to work, i left it on ON.
I recompiled the kernel with the NE2000 as a module, and then ran 1st
the ISAPNP on the modified dump file (I set it at IRQ5 and IO300 this
time) and then the NE2000 driver:
insmod /lib/modules/blahblah/ne.o io=0x300 irq=5
the module doesnt load.
i ran modprobe --> loaded.
ran rmmod to unload it and then ran INSMOD (probbably needed other
modules loaded 1st)
now it loaded ok.
eth0: NE2000 found at 0x300, using IRQ 9.
IFCONFIG and ROUTE --> it WORX.
and the moral -
PnP = Plug, Play with it for a week - and then it works :-)))
