I have a Dell Inspiron 7000...
I just installed the new Mandrake Air, everything works great cept the
networking.
I have a 3com 10/100 card (no modem) I think its a 3c575. When I installed the
system ISMOD crashed when detecting the card so I skipped the network
installation.
It DID give the correct info about the card on a screen for about 1.5
seconds before it crashed.
I manually set up the card with netconf.. I put in the ip/dns/routes.. I
selected a
mask of 255.255.0.0 and selected interface eth0.. I put nothing in for the
kernel module or irq, i/o ports..
I started pcmcia and networking.. Running ifconfig eth0 gives me the
correct info..
It gives me the ip addy I gave it as well as the nics hardware addresss...
I can ping localhost AND the ip I gave the card (same ip that works with
windows)
That is as far as I get though.. nslookup fails cuz it cannot find the
servers.. I can't ping
any other machine....
Any ideas??? Dell seems to have released a 3c575.rpm but its for RedHat...
go figure...
Thanks,
Bob
