This does sound like an irq problem. Also, check to make sure the card is set for the type of cable you are using. For example, if you are using UTP, make sure the card is set for 10BaseT then. (Even though dont' think this is the case). > >dmesg reveals: > > ed0 at 0x300-0x31f irq 10 flags 0x4 on isa > ed0: address 00:c0:58:20:bg:16, type NE2000 (16 bit) > >This results from a kernel configuration of: > > device ed0 at isa? port 0x300 net irq 10 flags 0x04 iomem 0xd8000 vector edintr > >I have tried this without the flags parameter, and with a flags parameter >of 0x02. Same result. This card is an ExpertLan INET2000, which works on >win95 as an NE2000.
