D-Link DE-220PCT NIC driver?

Alan,
The D-link site says your DE-220PCT is a ne2000 compatible card
(http://www.dlink.com/products/adapters/de220pct/), so all you need to
do is configure the cards with the d-link setup program.

Since the ethernet card is ISA, you may want to configure it manually in
/etc/conf.modules and on the board strapping.

I have two Linksys 10MB ISA cards in my 486 that are "strapped" for no
Plug & Play, but the following settings in /etc/conf.modules :

alias eth0 ne
alias eth1 ne
options ne io=0x240,0x300 irq=11,5

As you can see, eth0 is IRQ 11, address 0x240 and eth1 is IRQ 5, address
0x240.  These are both ne2000 compatible cards as are yours.  The
"strapping" is done with software from a floppy and saved in rom on the
card.  I believe linux looks for ne2000s on IRQ 5 address 0x300 by
default.  This is also on RH6.2

Hope this helps,

Can't get Linux to recognize this NIC and we have not easily found a
driver
for it.  Anyone know where to find it?

Again, that's the D-Link DE-220PCT 10Mbsp Combo 16-bit Ethernet ISA
Adapter.  Trying to run it on RedHat 6.2.
