Subject: Load ethernet driver???
Date: Sun, 21 May 2000 16:19:02 GMT
I am new to linux and I recently got a cable modem but my network card, a
netgear FA310TX, is not working correctly. It came with drivers for it. The
instructions were basicly to compile the driver then copy the object file to
a certain location. Add some text to /etc/modules.conf and then reboot. I
did all of this with no difficulty but then after rebooting, as instructed,
the driver did not load durring the boot time. I was unable to ping any
computer on the network. Does anyone have any advice or help for me? If you
need more information tell me and I can find it.

What are error messages during boot? You might try
modprobe -v <module_name>
and see what errors that shows. It is probably always a good idea to
retrace your steps and make sure everything went according to plan. For
instance, you might have more than one /lib/modules tree, and make sure
it is in the right place. You might also try turning off PnP in BIOS.

Subject: D-Link DMF560TX on Thinkpad 600e & hard lock-up
Date: Sun, 21 May 2000 12:52:23 -0400
Subject says it all. There's an internal modem in this laptop,
statserial shows dcd etc 'up', but can't access it (device in use,
though lsof & fuser show no processes using it); /proc shows no ioport,
irq 4 'auto-assigned' by/to serial_cs. Bye-bye internal modem! Just
ignoring it.
So, I picked up a d-link dmf560tx pcmcia multifunction card, as it's
listed on the linux pcmcia supported cards list... :|
...after pc_net_cs module is loaded, serial_cs module is loading when
the box locks up hard. Reset required. But, at least twice, if I boot
without the card inserted, the network *has* come up. That's how I
think I'm sure that it's a serial problem here :-)
eth0 using ioport 0x300, irq 4 (specifying alt io/irq in
/etc/pcmcia/config.opts causes no change in ioport but irq will switch
to 3, still locks up).
I've checked lots of on-line resources, d-link mfr site, can't "diagnose
it" because now can't get the card to come up at all.
Any ideas? As with so many things, serial works great when it works, and
I haven't had to debug a problem of this kind up to now.
TIA.

You will need:
Two network cards with TP-connections and a crossed TP-cable.
or
Two network cards with TP-connections and a hub or switch and two normal
TP-cables. Then you will be able to add more machines to your network.
or
Two network cards with BNC connectors, two terminators, two T-connectors
and one coaxial cable. This is an older technology which is easy to
expand without the need of any hub. However, you can't have any speed
higher than 10 Mb/s with such a network.
You will find more info in the Ethernet-Howto.

It's all in the Howtos.

The Linux Documentation Project is a good place to start. However, the
Howtos are probably included in your distribution.

Probably as a fail-safe loading mechanism, and to avoid extra
BIOS code to handle the old/slow PIO disk case.
The thinking is the OS will enable DMA if it wants to. Linux
will automatically too, if you compile it into the kernel.
Otherwise, `hdparm` does the job.

There is a utility to change the hardware settings of this network card. It
should be provided with the card. If it's not ( or you just dont' have the
disk anymore ), it can be downloaded directly from realtek
www.realtek.com.tw ). With the utility you should also be able to see the
current hardware settings.
I think the utility is called rset8019
ftp://210.192.0.122/lancard/drivers/8019/rset8019.exe ). The whole OEM
diskette with drivers and utility can be downloaded here
ftp://210.192.0.122/lancard/drivers/8019/oem8019.exe
Hope this helps

I have exactly this motherboard. I use an Adaptec 2940uw card with a
Quantum 4.5 gig Viking hard drive so I don't have the problem directly.
But I've been trying to get linux to see an atapi cdrom connected to the
ide4 port on the motherboard without luck. The drive works fine in
Windows98, but linux can't see it.

Subject: corel linux hardware problems...
Date: Sun, 21 May 2000 16:01:35 -0400
First off, I managed to get my USRobotics 56k running under Corel Linux w/
isapnp. I have it set to com3 and irq5. Dialup detects it fine, it dials
to my ISP, but then disconnects me w/ an error "pppd daemon died
unexpectedly". Any ideas?
My second problem has to do w/ getting my soundblaster sound card working.
sndconfig gives me an error that it can't find any PCI devices. In
the /etc/isapnp.gone file (I think it was there from installation) it says
my sound card is IRQ 10, DMA 1 and 5, but that info is commented out. Not
sure what to do w/ that information anyway.
My next problem has to do w/ configuring my printer. Its a HP Deskjet
722C. I think I set it up right (is lp0 comparable to lpt1?), but whenever
I try running lpr, I get an error "lpr: connect: Connection refused; jobs
queued, but cannot start daemon." Any help would be much appreciated.
My last problem is just plain goofy- how the heck can I move the window
for Corel File Manager if the title bar is off the top of the screen?
Thanks,

I have this in lilo.conf:

No patch or anything and works well (ide numbering starting at 0). This
is the first HPT366 UDMA66 port. Use lspci -v to get port info, and for

Thanks yves,
I used the utlity but when it starts, it says: "Can't open com 4" and then
you can ignore or terminate the utility. When I then choose ignore, it says
it can't founc any active lan board on the system, and its terminates,
whereas I have two NICs working well ??
You have any explanation for this ?
And if I have this settings can I then use the ne module so that it works
