hey luggers........
somebody help me out...am going crazy bcos of my ethernet card....... the
specifications of my system and the problem follows
i have a AMD K6-II 500Mhz , 64mb Ram and stuff....... along with 2 network
card
1. Compex 10/100Mbps (RL100ATX-PCI)---- (mod) rl100a.o
2. Dax 10/100Mbps -------------------------- (mod) rtl8139.o
the cards are not faulty as they work perfectly in windows
Please do not suggest to get a new one, cause got rtl8139.o yesterday when i
came to know that rl100a.o wont work for me...... i am finally back ,using
Red hat linux 6.2 again after trying Caldera 2.4
the problem is the same am not able to configure the eth0 (using both the
cards)......have twice installed rhl6.2..... does not auto detect at time of
installation(that applies for both cards)
this is what all i have already tried........ but still see each time the
same message while booting
"bringing up interface eth0 delaying eth0 initialisation
[FAILED]"(IN RED---started hating it)
1. "insmod rtl8139.o" shows
rtl8139.o : init_module : Device or resource busy
so far so good....always think that..
2. "/sbin/depmod -a" gives no error
3. edited /etc/conf.modules with
alias eth0 rtl8139.o
options rtl8139.o io=0x000 irq=10 ## windows
value on same comp irq=10 io=f000
4. hence " modprobe -c" has thhe following lines in the result
alias eth0 rtl8139.o
options rtl8139.o io=0x000 irq=10
no other line have eth0
tho all this gives a good feeling but still at boot time it shows that
[FAILED]
have tried compiling with the following step
gcc -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/net/inet -Wall -Wstrict-prototype
s -O6 -c rtl8139.c -DMODVERSIONS
but this also did not help....gave some error with depmod -a
so please suggest some possible solution for letting my system to
communicate with others i have
and does not show on
"ping 192.168.1.1"
network unreachable
reply asap
