 I am loading Debian 2.2 rev 4 over Win98 in an HP PC with a Linksys =
Network Anywhere 10/100 Card. Actually an AMDtek chip. =20
I used the tulip driver tthat came on the Debian CD.=20

tulip-diag  -e      output below

tulip-diag.c:v2.08 5/15/2001 Donald Becker (becker@scyld.com)
 http://www.scyld.com/diag/index.html
Index #1: Found a ADMtek AL985 Centaur-P adapter at 0x1400.
This chip has not been assigned a valid IRQ, and will not function.
 This must be fixed in the PCI BIOS setup.  The device driver has no way
 of changing the PCI IRQ settings.
 See  http://www.scyld.com/expert/irq-conflict.html  for more =
information.
 Comet duplex is reported in the MII status registers.
 Transmit stopped, Receive stopped, half-duplex.
  The Rx process state is 'Stopped'.
  The Tx process state is 'Stopped'.
  The transmit threshold is 128.
  Comet MAC address registers 475a0400 ffff5e72
  Comet multicast filter 0000000000000000.
EEPROM 256 words, 8 address bits.
  Ethernet MAC Station Address 00:04:5a:47:72:5e.
  Default connection type 'Autosense'.
  PCI IDs Vendor 1317 Device 0985  Subsystem 1317 0570
  PCI min_grant 255 max_latency 255.
  CSR18 power-up setting 0xa04c****.

Any idea of what to do next?  I don't see an option to set the IRQ via =
BIOS

I have all the settings ( IRQ 9)  that worked with Win98.

Seriously considering buying another networking card - Tired of fighting =
with this on - .any suggestion on which one to buy?

Thanks
Hal McCaskey
