Why doesn't the software see the DT3152 board?

Try moving the board to another PCI slot. If that doesn't work, you probably have an interrupt conflict in your system.

The most common interrupt conflict occurs with a PCI device and a device that is plugged into the ISA bus. To resolve this problem, change the interrupt setting (usually by changing a jumper) on the ISA device.

An interrupt conflict can also occur if a PCI device was not designed to share interrupts. To resolve this problem, select a different interrupt for each PCI slot in the PCI BIOS. To do this, enter the system BIOS program; this is usually done by pressing the DEL key when rebooting your system. Once in the system BIOS, enter the PCI/PnP BIOS setup, and select a unique interrupt for each PCI slot. The PCI BIOS assigns the interrupt; the device on the PCI bus does not have control over the interrupt assignment.

Some network devices do not share interrupts. If you still have an interrupt conflict, try removing the network device, installing the DT3152 board and rebooting the system, then reinserting the network device.  Created: 9/01/01
