linux newbie

[Michael ODonnell]

I used to have a skanky old WD8013 card and the Linux driver
needed to be told where to find it in I/O space and which
interrupt to use or it would claim that I didn't have a NIC,
so that might be the sort of problem you're having.  If the
Windows driver is able to find it then you can probably bring
up the Properties panel and find the info in question there.
You're looking for the I/O port and the interrupt line values,
which you could then pass along to your driver on the kernel
command line, something like this:

  ether=10,0x300,eth0
