drivers for an old network card

[Kerry Hoath]

Configuration of the 3c509 can be done under Linux.
Go to http://www.scyld.com go to network drivers and
then setup and diagnostics programs. there is a config utility for the
Etherlink 3 on that page.

Regards, Kerry.

You have to run this utility programin DOS (just boot froma floppy, then insert the diskette with the utility program on it and run it from the floppy). This program lets you set IRQ and IOBase address. Set them and save them to the card. Then reboot Linux and set up the driver which you can compile into your kernel, or load as a module. Specify the IRQ and IOBase as per the instructions for modules (or on the lilo prompt if you compile the driver into the kernel).
