Hi all: I had problems with the dhcp client that comes with slink, so I installed the version that's in potato. It installed okay, but it prompted me for a network device from a list that it apparently found. Unfortunately, it found none.
I have a Linksys card and I've been to their site and followed instructions on making the latest version of their tulip driver available when I compile the kernel. I compiled my kernel, and I get this message about my nic when I rebooted: tulip.c:v0.90 10/20/98 [EMAIL PROTECTED] eth0: Lite-On 82c168 PNIC at 0xe800, 00 a0 cc 22 71 e4, IRQ 12. eth0: MII transceiver #1 config 3100 status 7829 advertising 01e1. Is this right? Is my card being recognized? It looks similar to the example in the Cable-Modem-mini-HOWTO. However, ifconfig doesn't show eth0, I just get lo and ppp0 (right now). The linksys site mentions to do a cat /proc/pci, so I did and it looks like: PCI devices found: Bus 0, device 9, function 0: Ethernet controller: Lite-on LNE100TX (rev 32). Medium devsel. Fast back-to-back capable. IRQ 12. Master Capable. Latency=64. I/O at 0xe800. Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xea000000. for my NIC. The Linksys website mentions that if the output of the cat /proc/pci looks like this: Bus 0, device 9, function 0: Ethernet controller: Lite-on LNE100TX (rev 32). Medium devsel. Fast back-to-back capable. Master Capable. No bursts. I/O at 0x0. then my BIOS is configured wrong. Can anyone help me/point me in the right direction? I've read the Cable-Modem-mini-HOWTO, the Ethernet-HOWTO, and a couple other docs written by people at my local LUG, but they use redhat and do everything from the control panel and network configuration tools that redhat has.
