Here is what I get when I run 'ip addr':
[root@alarm ~]# ip addr
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group
default
link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo
inet6 ::1/128 scope host
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
2: eth0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast
state DOWN group default qlen 1000
link/ether c8:a0:30:ac:e3:19 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
I'm not sure if the driver needs ndiswrapper or not... how do I tell? I
did find the following website, but looks like it's for Ubuntu.
