Networking :: DSL doing eth0, eth1 - only have ONE card



Do you have plug&play enabled in your bios ?
Usually, if this is turned off, your bios sorts out
the io and irq conflicts before booting the OS.

Also, I've seen some issues posted about
using add-on IDE cards .. that's another one to
pull out as a test, and see if the liveCD runs and
networks with it removed..  then you may be able
to add back in the sound card.

This computer is from before Plug & Play - not a PCI bus. It's an old 486 (VESA Local Bus) which "upgraded" to a Pentium over-drive (83MHz).
My bad..
You mentioned that before..

Keep us posted on how well DSL runs on your 486 box !

Also, there was some thread I read about someone else having a similar
issue with an 3c509 card in DSL, and needing to rmmod and then modprobe
the card to make it work...

Did you try searching the forums for "3c509" ,
using the options "all open forums" and "from the beginning" ??
