ISA PnP NE2000 EthernetCard - How to get it run in MEPIS?
Posts: 53
Hello!
Nice Distro this MEPIS! After having wasted 10 years with the crap, lies and inferior products from Micro$oft I now do my whole work with (MEPIS) LINUX!!! (Unfortunately not in the office, they still waste money and time on windows and updates updates 
). It´s a good feeling to be FREE!!!
I need your help with the following issue:
I have an older system with an ISA PnP Network Card (ATI Allied Telesyn NE2000AT PnP).
I do not know how to get it to run in Mepis 6.0.
My PCI Realtek Card was detected successfully but MEPIS ignores my ISA Card.
Thank you for your help in advance!

I used to be really good at sorting out a ne2000 isa card

Hello,
thank you for your reply. I googled some infos but there is nothing really usable for a linux newbie of how to do it with an ISA Card. Thanks for your links i will check them out and try it. I think it shouldnt be a big deal with linux.
I am not on dualboot. My computer only runs with mepis linux. there is NOTHING left of windows in my house. I threw ALL the garbage out and now i have a clean house, mind and enjoy my productive time on the computer.
Thank you to the developer of this distro!
before i tried pclinuxos. its nice and easy but unstable and slow on my system. Kubuntu didnt like my system and mepis is my second distro and better for me, and i stay with it now.
dont want to change a running system anymore.
