I have an old rtl8019AS (ISA) card that I'm trying to get working. I'm a total noob here, so bare with me. Seeing as these cards are supposed to be ne2000 compatible, I tried to insmod ne, but to no avail. Instead, it gives me a slew of errors:

unresolved symbol ei_open
unresolved symbol ehtdev_init
unresolved symbol ei_interrupt
unresolved symbol NS8390_init
unresolved symbol ei_close

Is this possibly the PnP getting in the way? If so, how do I reconfigure? If not, well then what the hell is it?

Thanx!

Most isa ethernet cards have dos configuration utilities (on the driver diskette or downloadable) that you can use to disable PnP and change (if jumperless) the IRQ and I/O address if necessary.

cat /proc/ioports
cat /proc/interrupts

should give you the resources your system is using.

Unresolved symbol errors can be the result of:

A. Using a version of the module which was compiled for a different kernel version. For example: using the vendor-supplied precompiled module that came bundled with the card as opposed to compiling one yourself or using the module built into your kernel.

B. Not having the proper kernel sources (libraries, header files, etc.) installed on your system.
