Hi

I'm new to Linux and have just installed from the Slackware
distribution.  I am having problems getting Linux to accept my network
card - and AMD PCNet ethernet board in a Compaq P120.  The boot disk I
used was "net".

Upon booting I get the message:
eth0: ewrk3_probe(): detetected a device already at 0x360
and then I get the same message again but for address 0

I've checked /proc/ioports and nothing seems to be clashing with either
of those addresses.

I've had an elementary look around in the source code and am surprised
to see "ewrk3_probe" in the message because CNet card is supported by
depca.c and lance.c (but, like I say, I'm new to this Linux lark so I
might have it all wrong!)

Please help - I'd prefer replied to be copied straight to my e-mail
(peter.howe@envoycti.demon.co.uk) because I don't have easy access to
news.

Many thanks in advance,
Peter Howe
