I am trying ot set up oxygen. I have the 3c509c nic cards and oxygen appears to have come with that driver, but it doesn't seem to work with it. I tried putting the 3c59x on the system and using it, but it doesn't seem to work either. Basically everything tells me that the cards are invalid. They work fine with the Bearing firewall. Would their be anybody out there that might be able to help me with this problem? It appears that Oxygen really doesn't have much in the way of documentation.Yes, we do need more information.
If you need any more info, I will be glad to provide it.
First, describe the behavior that you summarize here as "doesn't seem to work" as specifically as you can.
Second, tell us what ther "everything" is in "everything tells me that the cards are invalid", and HOW "everything" tells you that (quote the error messages you are reading character for character).
Third ... I am not familiar with a "3c509c" NIC. I am familiar with a 3c509 and with a 3c905c. I mention this just in case there is a typo in the NIC designator (I might just not be remembering a particular model, though). In any case, the 509 (isa cards) series uses the 3c509 module, and the 905 series (pci cards) uses 3c59x.
Fourth, let's get specific about where in the process things fail.
1. Does the appropriate module load? After boot/init, does it show up in "lsmod"? If you "insmod" it from the command line, what response do you get?
2. Does it load but not configure? Does "ifconfig -a" (I think Oxygen includes "ifconfig"; if not, use the corresponding "ip" command) show the interface with or without an IP address? How are you assigning an IP address to this interface (static, DHCP/dynamic, PPPoE/dynamic, something else)?
3. Does it configure but not communicate? If so, look at possible hardware problems -- bad cable, slot conflict, IRQ or ioport conflict.
