Puppy does not have a driver for my ISA Lan card

#1 Post by leejosepho »

I have Lucid Puppy 528.004 installed in one of my machines that has only two PCI slots and one ISA slot, and the ISA slot is the only one I have available for LAN. The best ISA card I have is a "Linksys Ether16 LAN Card", and my Puppy seems to have no ISA drivers.

I have tried to "probe" for the card but it has not been found, and I have tried the "wrapper" feature while selecting various Windows drivers I have for the card ... but nothing so far has worked. So, it looks like I am going to have to enter the card info manually, and I am posting here to find out what info I will need and for a bit of direction in how that information must actually be entered.

Thank you.

Note: I believe this ISA card is P-N-P and will accept any IRQ assigned to it.
