I'm having trouble getting my Debian network (ethernet) up and running. Brief background:
I have an smc 8216C card. On same system (dual boot), Windows98 finds the card as strapped (io=0x300 irq=10). Redhat 6.0 found it with the smc-ultra driver. On Debian install, I couldn't install the smc-ultra driver, it would fail. I did install the required 8390 first, but smc-ultra failed. As a result, I couldn't fill in the network menus, and no eth0 device was created. After the fact, I found that on smc cards, sometimes the ne or wd drivers work. I'm unable to install any of them, ne, wd, or smc-ultra (having installed the 8390 they depend upon). This is with either modprobe, or direct insmod with options io=0x300 irq=10. What could be so different about Debian that on this architecture it will not find the network card, when Windows and RedHat can? Some kind of weird BIOS setting? An error in the smc-ultra or wd drivers? Any pointers appreciated. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
