Help needed for RPTI Network Card.

Posted by Cliff on Sunday January 24, 1999 @06:40AM from the but-where-are-the-jumpers? dept.

An anonymous coward pleads: "HELP! I've got a 10BaseT 10Mb RPTI Network card that is a PNP card, unfortunatly my Older 586 Bios doesn't support PNP and therefor I can not access it. The only reason I know this card is an RPTI card is because I had to use the FCC ID tag to figure out who made it. Anybody have any english documentation or card bios configuration programs?" C :Actually, where does one go to lookup the FCC ID tag to figure out what a card is? That also would be useful to us geeks with anonymous NICs who like to put them to practical use!

Well, folks, this may come as somewhat of a surprise, but there's a HOWTO at http://metalab.unc.edu/LD P/HOWTO/Plug-and-Play-HOWTO.html on Plug-and-Play.
Woah. That was hard.
And, yes, surprisingly, the FCC allows you to look up FCC ID's at http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid/.
Also, RPTI's support webpage is here.
