SuSE 9.0 from ftp: loading the network module

[hop-frog]

I'm trying to install the latest version of SuSE from ftp. From the bootdisk installation, I am asked to load a network ethernet module so that it can connect to the internet. I selected my network card type, but it asked me to give it some parameters. Where do I find out what parameters are needed?

Probably "ifconfig eth0 up ". Or it may need your machine's ethernet card address- usually you can see this after you get the interface up and the do "ifconfig" to get a readout of the address.

Probably "ifconfig eth0 up ".
Didn't work. I'm getting the message "invalid IO or IRQ parameters." I've tried google searching the error, but none of the pages had a solution that worked.

From a working distro dmesg says:

"PCI: Found IRQ 5 for device 00:09.0
eth0: ADMtek Comet rev 17 at 0xa800, 00:02:2A:B7:41:7D, IRQ 5."

I'm assuming this means that IO should be set to 0xa800 and the IRQ should be set to 5.
Placing "io=0xa800 irq=5" along with the other parameters makes the "invalid IO or IRQ" error disappear, but it still doesn't load the module. Now i get "invalid parameter parm_io"

i installed Suse 9.0 from the FTP a week ago, after i loaded the network module and it asked me for the parameters, just pressed ENTER ... and everything went perfect after ....

did u try doing that ??

I think I found the problem. I've been confusing ADM with AMD. The card says "ADMtek AN983B" on it, but I was looking at the label using a mirror so I thought I had an AMDtek B380NA all this time. I probably just have to figure out which one is the right module.
