Here's a little more info:
- I CAN ping my own ip address, but any other
address just times out
Â
- it appears that the BIOS is assigning IRQ 0 to
the card, and I can't find anyway to change that:

WARNING: The PCI BIOS assigned this PCI NE2k card to IRQ 0, which is unlikely to
work!.      You should use the PCI BIOS setup
to assign a valid IRQ line.     ne2k-pci.c: PCI

- more dmesg snips that may help:

Guess I'm just not understanding why Win98 sees the
card with IRQ 5 and linux sees it at 0. And I still don't even see the modem or
audio device.

Subject: [ale] PCI devices
Hi,
Â
Starting the archive search now, but thought I'd
ask on here in the meantime.
I have an HP Pavilion with the SiS5513 PCI bus.
Can't install NT on it, and I Hate Win98 (yes, with at capital "H"). But I
have some apps for work that HAVE to run on Windows, so I'm keeping it dual
boot for the time being til I can test VMWare or something else.
Â
Anyway, there's a NE2000 clone and a 56k
plug'n'play modem, and the audio device comes off the PCI bus. I rebuilt the
kernel to make sure these devices were enabled, but I can't seem to see the
modem or the audio device. The network card shows up, but then fails
with:
   SIOCSIFFLAGS: Resource
Temporarily Unavailable
Â
I've added an append "ether=" line in lilo, but
no effect.
Â
Boot up in windows to get the IRQs and IO
addresses:
net card:Â 5Â 1020-103F
modem:  ? 03e8-03ef Â
(doesn't give an IRQ used)
audio:Â Â Â Â
10Â 1040-107f
Â
I'm sure there's a simple explanation, but I've
been away from installing linux for a while, so it'll probably take me a while
to find it.
Â
Any guidance is appreciated,
Matt
Â
Oh yeah, this is with SuSE Linux 7.0, I believe
the kernal is 2.2.16
