Sorry but, as the saying goes, close only counts with hand granades and= =20 horseshoes ... not error messages and config files. You aren't likely t= o=20 get help with interpreting this output until we can see it, not "someth= ing=20 like" it. But see below. >=BFhow do i know how to edit isapnp.conf.... ? > >Also, on dmesg, it says: >isapnp: Card 'Genius LAN GE2000III Series Card' >isapnp: 1 plug & play card detected total. > >Also, i wrote down the following before formatting >windows.

One possibility, then, is to believe what Windows tells you about t= he=20 card and see if it works under Linux. That is, what happens if you run = the=20 command modprobe ne io=3D0x2c0 (as I recall, ne can autoprobe for the irq but not the io value)? Do you get a failure message from the module? If you do not, does "ifco= nfig=20 -a" then show an eth0 interface present? If it does, what IRQ does it=20 report? And can you now assign it an IP address (maybe with "ifup eth0"= , if=20 Slackware uses the ifup/ifdown commands that are pretty standard on oth= er=20 Linux distros)? - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie"= in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
