Product: drakxtools
Component: DrakConnect
Summary: No ip over 1394
Version: 9.1-0.13mdk
Platform: PC
URL: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: major
Priority: P1
AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
DrakConnect doesn't list eth1394 as a driver, and expert mode crashes when I
try it. This is after I have done insmod eth1394.o.gz and re booted. Actually,
this option should be offered during the install, automatically, so those of
us who are relying on our firewire cards to connect two windows machines will
be able to network our new Linux install to, say, our winxp machine. (My case).
Even though my Linux bootup screen says eth0 is "OK", my winxp machine can't
tell it's there. xp says "1394 Connection A network cable is unplugged." The
Linux machine is dual booted with winme which does work with ip over 1394,
Internet and everything. Linux needs to do ip over 1394 "out of the box",
firewire has been around for some time now. And I can't find ANY documentation
on the eth1394 module anywhere. Any ideas?
