Albert, For your purposes, the difference between brand name and non brand name
cards
is nothing but a lot of wasted money. Most PCI 10/100BaseT generic cards on the
mrket today are either using the tulip or via-rhine chipset both of which have
pretty good linux support. e.g. I bought SVEC PN102 TX cards ( later they
changed the company name to Hawking but kept the same model number card
on the market) All of these cards use either the Tulip or the Via chip set
(earlier ones had Tulip.. later ones have via ).
Read the Ethernet How-TO for how to read the chipset from the card itself.
Don't pay more than US$18 for any PCI 10/100 cards as of today.
Netgear, SMC cards etc are also generally well supported. Ethernet howto and
hardware howto etc have lot of detailed information about support. Don't
go burning money beacuse of some sily brand-name snobbishness...

Yup, just make sure the cable modem is pluged into the uplink/cascade
port on the hub...the one with the twisted wire symbol. A green lamp
should light or something...if not, its wrong...simple... No
uplink/cascade port? Then you gotta buy a twisted unshilded twisted
pair cable...one with TX and RX reversed with respect to the norm...

does anyone know how to put the via-rhine.o network interface driver
module into redhat so that it automatically starts the network at boot
up?
the module compiles and runs fine. I ran insmod via-rhine.o just fine
after bootup
here's how I get my network to start up
I wait for boot up.
then I type "insmod ~/via-rhine.o"
then I start X
netcfg and activate eth0 <ipaddress>
and finally I can telnet, ftp, etc...
anyone know how to get it to start the network at boot?
I already done the setup to start network, printers, samba, etc...
this alone will not work, because my d-link def-530tx is not supported
by the kernel.

lots of things happen when you send that packet.
so, from work you sit at your computer and ping myhome.org.
that packet goes to your work's network provider (could be uunet,
psinet, etc...), backbones
where it is routed through many routers then to one of the national
(USA) peers. this is then sent to your home's ISP's Network provider
(backbone). then to your ISP, then to your home. for example when I:
traceroute www.linux.org, I get:

Subject: two ethernet cards issue. Kernel problem ?
Date: 14 Jul 1999 04:11:14 GMT
Hi,
I have made a router out of a pentium 60 using the LRP (Linux Router Project
based on 2.0.36 modified a little) distro. It has two network cards ( One
Tulip based and the other via-rhine based)
One talks to my internal network and the other one talks to the external world.
Now, the external connection ( through xDSL) goes dead sometimes
due to problems beyond my control. The problem is, when that happens, I can't
even telnet into the box through it's internal interface. I can still ping the
box though. But no telnet. If a kernel hacker is reading this, could you
tell me where exactly is the problem. Is it a driver level problem, TCP/IP stack
problem, or even a tcp-wrapper problem ( all servers on the router box
are invoked through inetd). My guess is that the external connection is
blocking on a read/write and that somehow blocks the internal connection too..
( or is it supposed to be obvious and I am just exposing the limits of my
knowledge here) Is there a fix for it...(or has it been taken
care in later kernels in 2.2 sereis ) or is it a fundamental
limitation of the kernel architecture. If you can point me to a source
file in the kernel tree, that will be good too...

I've had good luck with both 3Com and Netgear Ethernet cards. The 3C509
( ISA, 10baseT ) and 3C905B ( PCI, 10/100baseT ) are well-supported under
Linux, and Netgear's FA310TX PCI card includes Linux drivers on it's
diskette to supplement the ones in the kernel ( the ones that come with
the card are newer ). The 3C905B and FA310TX are both full-duplex-capable
and can auto-sense the hub speed. All are also, obviously, supported under
Windows.
For hubs, I swear by the Netgear DS1xx-series hubs. Their EN1xx and FE1xx
series are 10-megabit-only and 100-megabit-only hubs, the DS1xx hubs are
true 10/100-megabit, full-duplex-capable, can select speed on a port-by-port
basis ( ie. plugging in a single 10-megabit device does not reduce the
entire hub to 10 megabits ) and include some extra hardware to help keep
traffic solely between 100-megabit ports from flooding 10-megabit ports.
Hubs don't care about OSes.
For the DSL box, since DSL is less than a megabit in most cases you don't
strictly need more than a 10-megabit connection to it. My preference in
this case:
- A 10/100-megabit internal LAN, all 3 machines connected to a Netgear
DS104 hub. Machines with PCI slots get 10/100-megabit cards, ISA-only
machines get the 3C509.
- The Linux box configured with a second card, probably a 3C509 unless the
DSL connection came with a card as part of the deal, and set up as a
router, firewall and masquerade host. You connect the DSL modem/router
to the second Ethernet card directly using a crossover cable, no hub
is involved.
Depending on the DSL modem/router model and whether it's operating in
bridging or PPP mode, it may be capable of doing masquerading ( actually
NAT ) and firewalling, allowing it to be connected directly to the internal
LAN. I don't like this configuration personally, but YMMV.
Note that both 3Com and Netgear have "starter kits" that include 2 identical
network cards and a hub for less than the total cost of the parts seperately.
With 3 computers it'd make sense to buy one of those kits to get the first
two cards and hub, then buy the remaining cards individually.

Subject: ISDN and High Speed Serial Cards
Date: Tue, 13 Jul 1999 22:39:29 -0600
The Background:
I recently got ISDN and am using a 3COM Impact IQ ISDN modem. I'm trying to
setup a High Speed serial card to take advantage of the modems 230400 Baud
serial line speed.. However I'm running into some trouble...
The Specifics:
Setserial 2.15
Isapnptools 1.17
2.2.9 Kernel
Pacific CommWare TurboExpress 920 16750 UART ISA Serial card.
The Symptoms:
Outpost20:~/# setserial /dev/ttyS2 port 0x02e8 irq 5 uart 16750
Illegal UART type: 16750
Outpost20:~/#
Now ISAPNP seems to setup the card up fine at whatever port/irq I request.
I just can get setserial to play nice.. I've gone so far to make new serial
devices ttyS4 and ttyS14 just to test. I have kernel support for many
serial devices and IRQ sharing compiled in.
If you can help at all please give me and E-Mail just remove the anti-spam
marks.

The one in the middle is priced reasonably.
This is just my opinion but I don't know why everyone is insisting on
100baseT setups for the home... I've had LAN parties with 7 systems on
thin coax. with no problems. I can't remember the max ping we had
that time, but a four system 10base2 max pinged at around 40-50....and
that was very heavy gaming. Most of the time it hovered around 25. I
guess the hub is easier to plug into.
Actually, I'm about to go that route, but the 8 port hub is being
given to me.....it's not a priority.

Hello,
You do not need to use PPP to connect if you an get an ethernet wire from
the Linux machine to your Macintosh. I suggest, for home use, using a
coax type line, as a hub adds some expense, and a coax line can be easily
expanded in the home.
On the Linux box:
* Get the IP number of the box (lets say 10.26.1.2)
On the Mac:
* Give the Mac a number in the same subnet as the Linux box (10.26.1.3)
* Tell the Mac that the subnet mask is (255.255.0.0)
* Tell the Mac that the Router {gateway} is the same as the linux box
(10.26.1.2)
Go to the Mac's IP application that needs to connect to Linux, such as
telnet, and have it connect to the IP number of the linux box (10.26.1.2).
Netatalk is excellent software for mounting the linux volumes on your
mac. Be sure to use lowercase usernames, however, as PAM hangs on
uppercase ones. I am also impresed with your serial workings, and you
will definately like the IP approach much better. It is also immensly
faster.
Now, if you want to get nice and special....
Put the Internet modem on the linux box. Use the Linux box to route
packets between the internet and the LAN (your ethernet network), so that
anything on the LAN can see the internet, and the internet cannot invade
you easily. In this configuration, the Linux box serves as a firewall.
Not sure how bullet-proof this setup is, but it works well for my computer
lab at the house.
Do internet searches on the Network Administrator's guide, PPP-howto, and
IP Masquerade setups. If you want, feel free to email me.
Good luck!
Christian

OK, solved that problem (I was trying to do it like I was on a SCO box
in /etc/passwd (/home/foo-bar./foobar). Now the ftponly group can log
in and even make dirs and put files but cannot see them?
