Sorry for the mangling??
Sorry that you don't seem to understand my problem or I just am not making myself clear? Please let me restate.
I have two network interface cards. One is being recognized but the other is not. The one that is recognized is the D-Link DFE-530TX.
After running the pciconfi -vl there are two network interfaces listed
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:4:0 nVidia Corp nForce MCP2 Networking adapter
the other
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:6:0 D-Link DFE-530tx
is there any way that I can get the other adpater to work? And again sorry for being a dweeb and trying your patience.
Horrible reply mangling. I won't reply to any more messages mangled this badly.
Have question though. I had to put a D-Link DFE-530TX PCI card in one of the PCI slots in the system that the OS was installed on because the motherboard (SHUTTLE FN41) has an integrated RealTek 8201BL NIC that was not responding during installation. I was wondering if there is any way to get the chip to function?
When I boot and look at the output of dmesg I note the following: rl0: <D-Link DFE-530TX+ 10/100BaseTX> port 0xc000-0xc0ff mem 0xee000000-0xee0000ff irq 11 at device 6.0 pci1
Heh. That's a Realtek card. DFE-530TX uses RealTek Driver
Any ideas on whether I can get the on-board NIC to work?
Well, the first thing to do is to look at the output from ifconfig and pciconf -vl.
Check the PC's bio's to insure you have the onboard Nic enabled. Since you can not see the onboard Nic in the boot log as an unknown device the motherboard bios must have the Nic disabled.
Please note that I have looked at the output from ifconfig. Also note that the driver recognizes that the DFE-530TX uses the RealTek 8139 chip.
Any other suggestions on how to get the RealTek 8201BL chip to work?
Well, it would be good to report on what I suggested above.
Oh, I forgot to mention that even though the on-board nic is enabled what I did see in the boot log as unknown was something like "if_fwe0 ethernet over firewire" ??? Mystery to me.
What's the mystery? That's Ethernet over firewire, but you should know that already.
Also ifconfig shows > fwe0: flags = 8802 <BROADCAST, SIMPLEX, MULTICAST> mtu 1500 > ether xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx > ch 1 dma -1 > > where xx is the physical mac address. ????
What's the problem?
