Networking :: isa card not auto detected at boot up???

I forgot: I have liveCD

Try placing the exact commands into your /opt/bootlocal.sh file

Then use the DSL backup/restore process to save this file to a storage device like a USB drive, a hard drive or even a floppy disk.

Then reboot using the restore command and it should automatically configure your card again.

if you dont want to work with a restore device but want to add this to the file you can do the following. if you have access to a running linux system try

Code Sample

insmod cloop file=PATH/KNOPPIX && mount -t iso9660 /dev/cloop /cdrom

KNOPPIX = the big knoppix file in the knoppix dir from the live cd

now change the entry in the bootlocal.sh unmount /cdrom and burn the livecd with the modified knoppix fle

putting modprobe 3c509 (without the irq) and netcardconfig in /opt/bootlocal works but I still get a pop-up window asking me whether I want to use DHCP or not. I always just hit enter, but it would be better if I could set a parameter somewhere to automatically choose DHCP. Is that possible?P

Yes.

Open up the netcardconfig script with the "Scite" text editor and write down the commands that you use for your computer (IE: the "use DHCP" branch of the script).

Then save these commands into your bootlocal.sh after your modprobe. Then you don't need to call netcardconfig any more and you won't get a pop-up window any more.
