Setting up NIC to run nder 5.2

["Geoff Hing" <infoflux hotmail com>]

Hello,

I recently helped my friend to install RHL 5.2 on his compoutrer.  At 
install time, we skipped the Network Card configuration thinking that we 
would need a special driver from the manufacturer.  It turns out that we 
can use the tulip driver that is provided with redhat.  So, I am 
wondering, how do I get this driver to work.  I believe that this is a 
loadable module, so I used the kernel configuration tool from the 
control panel to add eth0.  Is this the way to do it?  Also, what 
parameters do I need to pass.  Currrently I'm just passing the irq as i 
couldn't find the i/o address (at least in 0x*** form) when I was 
getting his system information in windows (how do I find this info?).  
The card is a Linksys 10/100 PCI card, and though I'm not sure what the 
exact model number is, I do know that it is supported (or at least some 
people have gotten it to work).  Thanks in advance for any help any of 
you can offer.

Later,
Geoff
