I found the dipswitch and jumper diagrams for my network card, finally, from ftp.microdyne.com. I am able to set it to whatever I need. However, I do not know which driver to use in the kernel config before install. Again, I have a Gateway Communications, Inc. ISA G/Ethertwist PC card with UTP and AUI (model 82200023-03). I am not sure if this is NE2000 compatible or not. I have attempted, several times, to load the kernel with the NE2000 driver supplied, but after it checks my ppbus (which is at the time it would detect my network card), it hangs. Does this mean I am using the correct driver, and that I need to change address and irq settings to coincide with the system (I am making sure there are no conflicts...), or does this mean that I have the wrong driver? I use other drivers and they do not detect it and just go straight into the install. I am quickly getting frustrated with this, and would like any and all help that I could get, please. If anyone has had a similar problem, please let me know what you did to resolve it (if possible). Thanks. James James Stephenson wrote: > > The card has an AT&T T 7220 PC chip on it.
