I've been having trouble getting my old SMC ethernet card to work.
I installed the card, which is labelled "SMC Ultrachip" on the largest chip. I
then went into Kernel setup and loaded the modules 8390 and smc-ultra
(smc-ultra depends on the presence of 8390) I went into the COAS ethernet
device setup and entered the netork information. When I attempt to exit and
save the information, I get the following error messages.
Error when executing command ip-config change eth0
the command produced the following output:
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Resource temporarily unavailable
SIOCADDRT: Network is unreachable.
eth0: initialization failed
Needless to say, the network doesn't work after this. Ok, something
isn't right here, but I'm not sure what that might be. Aynone have similar
experiences?
Thanks
Peter
