Hi Jose,
http://leaf.sourceforge.net/devel/jnilo/testing/atmtools.lrp
I am using this package because I am trying to use an ATM NIC card (ForeRunner ATM Adapter), but I am having some problems that maybe you can help me with.
You will almost certainly need a kernel module for the specific card. It is unlikely that "any old module will do" for ATM adapters.
It seems that this card has the PCA200e chipset. It is very widely used for Linux and indeed my RedHat system supports it out-of-the-box.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] steve]$ locate pca200 /usr/src/linux-2.4.18-3/drivers/atm/pca200e.data /usr/src/linux-2.4.18-3/drivers/atm/pca200e_ecd.data /usr/src/linux-2.4.18-3/drivers/atm/pca200e.bin /home/steve/wisp-dist/kernel-2.4.20/linux-wdist/drivers/atm/pca200e.data /home/steve/wisp-dist/kernel-2.4.20/linux-wdist/drivers/atm/pca200e_ecd.data [EMAIL PROTECTED] steve]$
You didn't search google for it did you? 8-) tsk tsk. ALWAYS search google.. rant rant.. trails off...

To test, download some modules and try roughly poking them in. Keep trying until one initializes the card. You do have the card installed ay ?
1) First I install the module to control the atm Nic called "nicstar.o"
insmod pca200e
Another thing is that the command Ifconfig doesn´t
work (It says "ifconfig: not found").
Modern tools are used on LEAF. 8-)
# ip address add # ip address list
# ip route add (mostly not required if you put /24 on the address in `ip address add` or you are doing something more complex.
# ip route list
Another question that I have now, because ifconfig doesn´t work is how I can do in the /etc/interfaces to
add the lines to configure
the atm Nic automaticly.. you know we have something
for eth0, eth1.. br0... but what do I have to do for the atm Nic?
Get the correct kernel module in, and see what interface appears when you do `ip addr ls`
2) I am using the packages vlan.lrp and bridge.lrp too. For these packages I had to install two modules 8021q.o for vlan.lrp and bridge.o, Do I have to install any extra module for atmtools.lrp?
no. You will need to pull the atmtools.lrp apart and swap the modules so the package loads the pca200 module.
Yell if you don't know how to do this.
have fun. networking is fun. 8-)
