From the example above we see that the Ethernet cards chipset is Tulip, the i/o address is 0xf800 and the IRQ is 10. This information can be used either if the wrong module is being used or if the resources (i/o or IRQ) are not available.This information can either be used to insert a module with a different i/o address (using the modprobe or insmod utilities) or can be saved in /etc/modules.conf (this will save the settings for the next bootup).Host InformationThe following files are used to store networking information.
