You can pass the module a parameter, telling it that the ethercard is using a particular irq, other than IRQ3. Look in the Ethernet and Modules HOWTOs, under your model ethercard. But first you have to set up the ethercard to use that irq, using jumpers or software. Software usually comes from the ethercard manufacturer, and usually runs under DOS. dagger (dagger@bayside.net) wrote: : I have a Pentium 90 with 32mb ram and a 510mb hd, and I have only one comm : port, and the ethernet card is using the same irq setting as the serial : port (of which i need a mouse to use x-windows with :) : I have been told that it is possible to change the IRQ setting of the : Ethernet card by passing the kernel something macabre at startup, can : anyone please give me details of how to do this? : Many thanks in advance, : -- : dagger : <mailto:dagger@bayside.net> : (Too much blood in my caffeine system...) -- /* George Durbridge Melbourne, Victoria, Australia */ /* tel (03) 9280 3390 fax (03) 9280 3288 */
