Question NIC driver building question
I'm way confused. I loaded RH 7.1 on an old P-75 Compaq. IT has an EtherExpress pro/100 card in it and I have that attached to the optional port on our firewall with a crossover....I can't seem to get the card to negotiate with the firewall...it's currently 100Meg at Half duplex. I'm at a loss here. I know precious little about rebuilding drivers from source, etc, and when I make what I believe are the correct changes, then run the 'make' command, I get errors from the source I downloaded. Any thoughts on where I can get more info on this, or do you have any ideas what I might be doing wrong?

iy

IY(4)							   BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual 						     IY(4)

NAME

     iy -- Intel EtherExpress PRO/10 Ethernet driver (Intel i82595)

SYNOPSIS

     iy0 at isa? port {port} irq ?

DESCRIPTION

     The iy device driver supports the EtherExpress PRO/10 card, and might support other ISA cards using the same chip.

MEDIA SELECTION

     The different models of the supported boards come with some subset of RJ-45, BNC and AUI connectors.  Supported media include:

	   AUI/DIX     Standard 15 pin connector

	   10Base2     BNC, also known as thin-net

	   10BaseT     UTP, also known as twisted pair

     The default port to use is the port the card autodetects at ifconfig up time.  To choose an alternative port, an explicit medium can be spec-
     ified to ifconfig(8) or in your ifconfig.iy? file.

NOTES

     The EtherExpress PRO card has no jumpers to set the address.  Intel supplies software to set the address of the card in software.	You have
     to hardwire this address in your kernel configuration file.

SEE ALSO

     ed(4), eg(4), el(4), ep(4), intro(4), ix(4), le(4), ifconfig(8)

STANDARDS

     are great.  There's so many to choose from.
