I see the following information, and it makes no sense to me. ^_^

Biggest chip: DL2517A (then in small font below it) F26D 116 (then on
a sticker still on the chip) 0080C8 25DD07

This is what is the key. DL2517A (with some Googling) is a DLink
Ethernet chip, and it's suggested that it is an NE2000 compatible, so
you'll want to try the NE2000 driver module. I'm guessing that the
hardware address of this card will be 00:80:c8:25:dd:07

Good luck. Like all ISA cards, you'll want to make sure that you
check IRQ and memory assignments - probably IRQ 10 or 5 is available.
The module will likely want them as command-line arguments.

Hope this helps,

Try:

insmod 8390
insmod ne2000 io=0x300 irq=10

Would this also work without specifying io? (Does ne2000 have a default?)


As someone explained recently,
cat /proc/interrupts
will list all interrupts which are not free and if you have by some chance
already used IRQ10 (for sound or scsi) pick something else free.
