Shux, I am pretty much sure what you told me earlier was right. the insmod thing but like I said I received IRQ error. So do you know how to fix this? Will clean install of RH 7 will find or install the driver? Thanks

Sting, if you have an IRQ error then a &quot;cat /proc/pci&quot; will show you what might be conflicting, with that info you could change the IRQ in BIOS. It shouldnt be a problem if the Linksys card is indeed supported by RH, the problem that Damaged is reffering to is the fact that even for WinXX drivers there are about 6 versions for the same model, but they have different chips on them.

I see what you are saying... so I will try to see the pci setting and try to play around with it. I will post more if I still have question. Thanks

I already cat /proc/pci and see that the card is in the same IRQ (9) as the one that I set on the bios but it still gives me the same error. Any other solution that you guys can think of? I am still thinking a way to get this error fixed but Damaged said there is a way to configure the tulip.o but I don't know how to do it. So does anybody know how to do it? I also already read the link that Damaged gave me but didn't find any info on that. So any input would be appreciated. Thanks

Tulip Driver page

That's a link to Donald Becker's site, the guy who wrote and maintains the drivers. There are options you can set.

hi, I still can't get this card to work. I don't know what else to do since I think I have tried all the possible ways to make this work. But since I am a newbie there might be something that I miss that probably could solve my problem.

Damaged: I went to the site that you gave me and I didn't get much help from there since when I went to the Linksys site and downloaded the latest driver for the card, I followed the instruction there and when I went to the site that you gave me, it's pretty much told me the same thing. I didn't see any page that really led me to fix this problem but since you are a Linux pro, I am pretty much sure you know what page that I need to see. So I hope if you don't mind, link me to the exact page so I can read carefully on the specific topic regarding my problem. Thanks

I think since there is a tulip in the /lib/modules/2.2.16-22/net and my card uses the tulip driver that I hope that I can use the tulip in that directory. But since I can't insmod the tulip and it gives me the error like I described earlier (insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRX parameters) I thought there was a conflict with the IRQ. I also then follow what shux told me (cat /proc/pci) and saw my card was on the IRQ 10 and the bios setting was on the same IRQ. So I think if someone can tell me how to make the conflict gone when I insmod the tulip then I think the driver can be installed but until I can get that IRQ conflict to work then I can't do anything.

Shux, I dont think the card is the problem but I think the problem lies to the RH 7. Do you have the same card as mine running under Linux RH 7?

nb: Sorry if I ask to much but I am really newbie with Linux and really want to make this to work. So I really appreciate all the helps that you've given me. Especially to Damaged and Shux.

I was finally able to compile the pci-scan.o module. With a little bit of fscking around might I add. I've emailed you the compiled module with some instructions. I hope this works.
