I have installed DSL on the harddrive of an old Unisys Aquanta SC (CWD 50011).  This machine is from the old days.  A P5-133, 32 megs of RAM, 1.2 Gig HD, and a Floppy drive.  The video card is a Cirrus Logic, embedded, I think with 1 meg of video memory, and an NE2000 network card (Accton, I think) embedded too.

With some hardware trickery and what not, I was able to install DSL 7.1 onto the harddrive.  Everything but the NIC works.  When I use the network configuration tool, it saids that there is not a network.

I know the network card is functional.  I was able to install windows 2000 on the box and was able to use the network card.

Help folks.

Thanks in Advance.

Try opening an xterm and typing:

sudo su
ifdown -a
modprobe ne    (or is it "modprobe ne2000", I forget)
ifup -a
exit

and then run netcardconfig

You may be able to specify the irq/io with something like this:

modprobe ne irq=10 io=0x300

or

insmod ne irq=10 io=0x300

Hope this helps.
