EigerStein Dynamic is pretty old. You should consider moving to a current LEAF distribution ... DachStein or Oxygen. >I have adapted the network.conf and >the modules file, I uncommented 8390 as per Charles S's suggestion, and >also uncommented ne2k-pci My internal network (already going off another >router I built) is a 192.168.100.0/24 so I set all the eth1 stuff >accordingly. eth1 seems to be able to ping.

Eiger and its descendants use the "ip" command (the package is sometimes called "iproute") instead of "ifconfig". Try "ip link show" or "ip addr show", depending on what information you want. BTW, you will also find the "route" command to be missing. Use "netstat -nr" where you would otherwise use "route -n". >I seem to recall it was on one of the images I >tried from the original LRP project (which also didn't work) Somebody >else on this list (Vince Schiller post#7288786) got a similar error to me >but he was using different NIC's and somebody suggested it might be a >dependency problem.

What EXACTLY am I >supposed to do to dhcpd.conf? What EXACTLY are you running DHCP for? If you already have address assignments on your LAN, you don't need your LEAF router to dish them out (so you can either ignore this error or "fix" it by deleting the package from the load list). If you need to use DHCP to get your *external* address assigned by your ISP, you need to run dhclient (the client), -NOT- dhcpd (the server). >Any other info you need to answer this I will give.

Should I just put this module in as well? Not if the router works now (that is, if the interfaces are recognized, can be assigned IP addresses, and support pings). Netgear and Linux modules have been moving targets. >and if I do should I >recomment 8390? For those dependency things I'm beginning to see via >inductive reasoning that the dependency is implied by the order in which >they are listed? Right, I think. If module A depends on module B, then B has to be loaded (that is, listed in /etc/modules.conf) ahead of A. >Thanks you guys on this list are great.
