isa nic on red hat 7.3

[Dan]

New topic from newbie:


I am unable to force red hat 7.3 to recognize my ISA NIC.

The process went like this:

1  I logged in as root
2  I ran ifconfig which showed my loopback address of 127.0.0.1, but no
mention of eth0
3  I ran netconfig to set the proper static IP address, mask, default
gateway, and name server
4  I ran ifconfig which still only showed my loopback address
5  I ran ifconfig eht0 irq 10 io_address 0x100 10.0.0.5 netmask 255.0.0.0
broadcast 10.255.255.255
The error message read:
irq: SIOCGIFMAP: No such device
io_address: Host name lookup failure
ipconfig: '--help' gives usage information

The NIC is old (supporting only 10Mbps) and is an ISA slot.


Do I have any hope?
What are my options?



Due to recient threads, I must state that I believe this message is sent in
