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
