i have tried a number of linux distros, all of which set the irq for my RPTI EP401 ethernet card to 3, and all of which do very strange things when i try to use the network card for both my home network and the internet. the only distro that i have found that works is simplyMepis, which sets the irq to 7. since mepis is a debian based system, and since i want access to the wide range of rpm packages, it would be nice to get fedora core 4 up and running on my laptop. which is why i asked about changing the irq. anyway, as far as i can tell it is ISA. so, how do i go about setting the parameter at module load time? regards - kevin > -----Original Message----- > From: ad+lists@xxxxxxxxx > Sent: Mon, 13 Jun 2005 19:48:47 +0200 > To: fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx > Subject: Re: irq? > > Am Mo, den 13.06.2005 schrieb Kevin Turner um 19:43: > > > how do i go about changing the interupt request (irq) from 3 to 7 for > my > > pcmcia network card? > > > > regards - kevin > > If it is ISA, then by setting a parameter at module load time.
