beats me. this looks like a redhat thing.
but let's try to make the ethernet card work.
what happens if you type
modprobe tulip
as root?
do you get an error that says
init module: Device or resource busy
?
if so read this part:
do you see the card listed if you type
cat /proc/pci
if yes -- i'm not sure I'll try to think of more stuff
if no -- check that it's plugged in well
if you can't tell -- mail me (personally) the output of /proc/pci
----------------------------------------
if you don't get the init module error
what happens if you type
ifconfig eth0 up?
does it say
eth0: unknown interface: No such device
if yes---
go back and compile the latest _stable_ tulip
driver and try that. The two compilation problems you
were getting were just warnings.. you should have a usable
module that might work better
if no---
sounds like a problem with the redhat startup scripts
someone who has used redhat will have to help you
hope this helps
