Legacy ne2000 query on RTP...

I have installed RTP on a Pentium3-based PC with a legacy ne2000 card. This
card is not detected on boot, so network configuration does not show any
devices. I manually started the network driver for TCP/IP using the
following command line…

io-net -d ne2000 ioport=0x340,irq=5 -p ttcpip if=en0::,default= &

and it works - en0 appears in net config and voyager fires up without
difficulty.

I have tried to figure out how to include this in the boot IFS without
success. So, does anybody have any idea what I need to do to customise RTP
to kick the network card into life automatically?

Make a shell script /etc/rc.d/rc.local. It will get run after all the
other system init stuff is finished. You can just mount the driver…

mount -Tio-net -o"ioport=,irq=" /lib/dll/devn-ne2000.so

and make sure you “chmod 755 rc.local” when you are finished editing it.
