NIC driver (DP83905AVQB)

N_A_J_M · 11-01-2002, 02:38 AM

Im hoping someone can help me with this one, i've searched everything and have had no luck.

Im trying to install RH6.2 or Mandrake 7.0 on a 486 using network install via ftp.

well my problem is my network card i dont think there is a driver available for it in the (default list shown), i have tried the ne2000 compatible and no luck infact i have tried all the driver presented and nothing!

Does anyone have any idea on getting hold of a driver for a card with the "DP83905AVQB" chip?

thanks guys

I have just been playing around a bit more, and i set the irq and io using a utility i downloaded ne2000 plus diag.
i set the values to irq:10 io:300h

it seems that windows uses the ne2000 compatible drivers for this card and it works fine! (come on linux dont fail me this time!!!)
