I'm not sure whether to send this to Cooker or Harddrake, so I hope you'll forgive me for sending to both addresses. I'm sending the contents of my /proc/bus only to harddrake, however. I have a Linksys LNE100TX NIC connected to a Toshiba PCX1100 cable modem. LM 7.2 fails to detect the NIC during the install process, but detects it correctly when I use DrakConf after the installation has completed. This is fine for now since it allows me to use my cable modem connection, but will present problems in the future because it prevents me from doing an FTP install. Here are the steps I encountered: As I've stated, LM 7.2 did not detect my Nic during install. However, once I had LM installed, I went into DrakConf, clicked on "Network and Internet Configuration," chose the selection to setup a cable modem connection, and then chose Digital 21040/21041/21140 (Tulip). It then detected my card and installed the Tulip driver. (NOTE: It also asked me if I wanted to configure another card. I don't have another card so I selected "cancel" and my mouse cursor turned into a clock, but I was still able to continue with it. The cursor stayed as a clock until I logged out.). Next, I went into LinuxConf, clicked on Networking, then on Host Name and IP Network Devices. I then clicked on the Adaptor 1 tab, selected DHCP, then down lower for Net Device I selected eth0, and for Kernel Module I selected Tulip. Finally, I called up a terminal window and typed "ifup eth0". After this, I was up and running. I typed out "ifconfig" and received my ip information. At this point, I had to logout and log back in in order to make my cursor become an arrow again instead of a clock. When I logged back in, I checked Harddrake to see what it says about my NIC. It doesn't list my NIC, but lists an "Unknown" device under the section of "Other Devices" which I assume to be my NIC. The Device ID it gives me is "13170985. Thanks, Raymond S. Swaim
