Install an ISA Ethernet Card on Debian

I am using the lastest Debian. It doesn't auto detect my ISA Ethernet Card
(SMC EtherEZ 8416).

If I do the following,

# isapnp /etc/isapnp.conf
# modconf then choose SMC ultra and enter io=0x240 irq=3
# pump to config dhcp

It works.

I want to setup a script, so the ethernet card gets auto setup during the
boot time.
"isapnp script" (in init.d) doesn't work because the linux kernel 2.4
supports pnp.
I even forced "isapnp script" to run during boot time, but cannot get it
work.
Please help me.

Not sure why you have "pump" installed, the Debian default is
dhcp-client. But, anyway, try this. In /etc/modules, put:

smc-ultra io=0x240 irq=3


In /etc/network/interfaces put:

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
