I was recently trying to get a 3c905cx-txm working. I compiled the
module as
gcc -c 3c90x.c -O2 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -fomit-frame-pointer \
-fno-strength-reduce -pipe -m486 -malign-loops=2 \
-malign-jumps=2 -malign-functions=2 -DCPU=486 \
-DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ \
-DMODVERSIONS \
-I/usr/src/kernel-headers-2.2.18pre21/include
That compiled with no errors. I installed the module, updated
/etc/modutils/aliases, did update-mdules and depmod -a. No errors.
Still didn't work. You have a different card, though, so maybe you'll
have better luck. (You might not need the -DMODVERSIONS, I can't
remember.)
You should have a line like the following in /etc/network/interfaces.
You probably know that, but thought I'd mention it.
iface eth0 inet dhcp
Also make sure your BIOS setting for Plug-and-Pray OS is turned off.
