> I'm having trouble with my ethernet controller. I hope someone can > help. I've got an at1500 plus at dma 5, irc 5 and base i/o 300h. When you restart the system at the boot: prompt type "kernel -c" and move your at1500 to some other address and IRQ. Both 0x300 and IRQ 5 are popular for other things. I use 0x360, IRQ 9, DRQ 3 for my NE2100. Some ISA cards confuse IRQ 2 and IRQ 9. IRQ 2 on the ISA bus is going to appear as IRQ 9 at the interupt controller. After you've booted with kernel -c, "ls" will list the current values. Then (I forget) "lnc0 port 0x360" or "set lnc0 port 0x360" or some variation on that works. You have to do it 3 times, once for the port, once for the IRQ, and once again for the DRQ. After the system starts /etc/rc runs /sbin/dset and makes your changes permanent. -- David Kelly N4HHE, n4hhe@amsat.org, dkelly@iquest.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
