[linux-help] Debian install

[Nathan <ncozzens@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I'm doing a new install of Debian (Potato).  I'm 
trying to setup a system with two NICs to be my 
server/firewall/bridge (I'm finally getting 
DSL!).  One of my netcards (3c509) installs 
easily.  I'm having trouble with the other (an SMC 
EtherEZ 8416BTA).

I put the SMC in my Win98 machine, and it configured 
easily, choosing IO=240-025F and IRQ=5.  I then tried 
the same IO & IRQ during the Debian install, but it 
still didn't work.  I've been trying the SMC Ultra 
driver, since everything on the web points to that 
driver for the 8416.  On the line where you put in 
your parameters, I've been putting "io=240 irq=5".  Am 
I using the right syntax?

The following page (along with several others I've 
found) says this NIC is supported.
http://lists.debian.org/debian-user-9805/msg00327.html
It says to set the card into Ultra compatibility 
mode.  Since the card has no jumpers, I'm at a loss as 
to how to do this.

Anybody have an idea what I'm missing?

Thanks,
Nathan
