I'm trying to configure my cable modem to work with Linux. I'm using Optimum Online. I have a couple of questions. First of all, is my ethernet card working if i type dmesg and see something about "eth0: Xircom CardBus." That is the NIC i have. second, i've been trying to connect with dhcpcd, and can't figure it out. i set up dhcpcd to work on eth0, and type ifup eth0, and it says "ignoring unknown interface eth0." i'm stuck. by the way, it sits at the starting dhcp: thing for a long time.
i am using storm linux (basically debian 2.2) is there any way to use the storm administration system to do this? there is an option to set up eth0 with dhcp. i need 2 give it a hostname... where do i get that? anyway, if anyone has any advice for me, i'd really appreciate it. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
