ifup eth0
would work but it didn't. All I got was :
Delaying eth0 initialization which is the same message I
get at boot time.
If I try to run Harddrake and select network device cards
then my card is seen. If I elect to configure it I get the message :
Modprobe : Can't locate module eth0
If I run Mandrake control center and select Network & internet
and then connection then in the right hand pane
on the line which says status disconnected and has a button labeled
connect clicking on that button does connect me and I can surf and ping
to my hearts delight :-) until I re-boot and I am back to square one.
It does not seem to matter if I apply the settings or not.
Once it is running cat/proc/interrupts shows the card assigned irq10
cat /proc/ioports shows various outputs
Help!!! please before I go mad
