I'm new to linux and have an old machine with an (ISA) smc-ultra network card. It works under Caldera & Puppy, but it is not recognized in DSLinux. Could you explain to me how to make it work, given that DSlinux user less resources and therefore is better for this old box?Try

find /lib/modules -name "*smc*"
and modprobe them all. Take a note of which one worked. Then add the modprobe command for that module into /opt/bootlocal.sh
Isa cards cannot always be autodetected, but hope this helps...
