D-Link 220 ISA troubles...

Hi everyone...

I was wondering if anyone out there has a D-Link 220 that you have successfully setup with Gentoo.

when I boot off the CD, first thing I do is 'modprobe ne'
that brings the following up:
"ISAPNP: Scanning for PnP Cards...
ISAPNP: Card 'D-Link DE-220P PnP ISA Card'
ISAPNP: 1 Plug & Play card detected total
ne.c: ISAPnP reports Generic PNP at i/o 0x240, irg 12
...
...
eth0: NE2000 Found at 0x240, using IRG 12"

after that, I 'dhcpcd eth0'
after a couple seconds...
"NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out"
appears...

anyone have any suggestions?
I also tried to hardcode all values in, it didn't work either

thanks for any help,
Mike

He ya ...
try disable the pnp on the card ... ( you need to boot in dos and do it whit the floppy drivers )

and putting the card on a irq that is free ( event try to reserve it in the bios )

mine is working ok on irq 9 i/o 0x280

its a bad ne2000 clone but got it to work on linux and all bsd
