32-Bit IO Mode PCI Ethernet Adapter is NE2000 compatable. The newer LINUX
version can detect RTL8029 in the bundled NE2000 driver. You can use LINUX
bundled NE2000 driver to install.

1. Plug 32-Bit IO Mode PCI Ethernet Adapter into PC's PCI-bus slot.

2. Boot into LINUX and make sure your LINUX kernel source code is included.
   (check /usr/src/linux)

3. Run "make menuconfig" to select network device.
   At linux prompt type:

   cd /usr/src/linux
   make menuconfig

   (mark them as '*')
   a. Move light bar to "Network device support" and press <enter>.
   b. Move light bar to "Ethernet (10 or 100Mbit)" and press <space>.
   c. Move light bar to "Other ISA cards" and press <space> to '*' sign.
   d. Move light bar to "NE2000/NE1000 support" and press <space> to
      '*' sign.
   e. Save changes and exit menuconfig.

4. Compile the kernel and build up a new kernel boot file.
   At /usr/src/linux directory type:

   make dep
   make clean
   make zlilo

   If no serious error happens, new kernel boot file will be generated:

   For example:
     Slackware: zImage may be generated in /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/zImage.
     RedHat   : vmlinuz may be generated in / root directory.

5. Use "vi /etc/lilo.conf" to make sure or modify boot file path pointed
   to the correct directory.

   For example: RedHat lilo.conf file

       boot=/dev/hda
       map=/boot/map
       install=/boot/boot.b
       prompt
       timeout=50                modify
       image=/boot/vmlinuz     ---------->  image=/vmlinuz
               label=linux
               root=/dev/hda2
               read-only
       other=/dev/hda1
               label=dos
               table=/dev/hda

6. Then, write LILO into boot partition and reboot the LINUX.
   At /sbin directory type:

   lilo
   reboot

7. When system boots, the driver will be loaded. Then the driver will
   scan I/O port to see if a card is there.
   (You can run 'dmesg' to see the boot message.)

8. Run "netconfig"(Slackware) or "netcfg"(in the RedHat's xterm of X-window)
   to configure IP environment.
   (Run 'ifconfig' or 'netstat -i' to see if there is a interface 'eth0')
