Re: [K12OSN] ISA nics not recognized

Jim,
Yes the cards are in non-PnP mode. These cards worked great with another LTSP server K12LTSP 2.0.2 (until I did a redhat up2date and broke the server :-( ... I also tried an SMC8013 (driver wd) that is jumpered and the IO is specified in the dhcpd.conf file.
I also included the dhcpd.conf file. I have looked it over and it looks OK to me ... what am I missing?
I am puzzled ... the instructions.html page gives instructions that I at least think are implemented in the .conf that I have attached ... ???
greetings
Joe

Joe,
Take a look at http://www.LTSP.org/instructions-3.0.html
Also, make sure on the 3c509 cards that you have disabled the
plug-n-play feature. You will need the 3com diskette to turn
that off.

ISA cards cannot be detected, os the require the nic driver to be specified in a 'NIC=' parameter to be passed on the kernel command line, usually specified in the option-129, in the /etc/dhcpd.conf file....
