OK, let me try to explain this differently.
-using 2.2.8-Release (the latest thing I have on CD)
-building network gateway (LAN/cable modem service)
I have found little in the archive or FAQ to help me thus far, at least
little that made much sense to me. I am trying to install a pci NIC as
de0 (it's a GFC2204 which is compatible with the DEC21x4x supposedly).
1. Is there a better driver, perhaps a DEC22x4x driver, available (at a
later release perhaps)?
2. according to /stand/help/hardware.hlp.gz the de0 driver cannot
determine port, IRQ, DRQ, or IOMem address. Does this mean that I have to
specify this information in the kernel config?
2b) if so, I know it is at IRQ 11 and the BIOS tells me it is using Mem
address of 1000-107F; what is the device line going to look like?
3. dmesg gives me the following:
pci0:13: vendor=0x1256, device=0x1400, class network (ethernet) int a irq
11 [no driver assigned]
What exactly does this tell me/what does it mean?
Any leads on any of the above are much appreciated: RTFMs, FAQs, whatever
thanks
