I have a "laplink" parallel cable that I can pass packets on by setting up the link with a shell. But the sysinstall passes ifconfig the wrong parameters. Is their an easy way to tell sysinstall that I don't want it to try to setup the network? I am also having similar problems with slip. on another note if you are still reading my ethernet card does not work. I have a 3c589d, the ep0 driver reports "No irq!?". I have seen suggestions to use the 3com utility to set the irq and base address which I have done but no suggestions about what to set them to. Currently I ran the auto settings and the the card up for dos use. The settings reported by the card are irq 3 and base addresss 300. Any help (redirection included) is much appreciated. Please cc me as I am not on this list.
