Hey all,
Well after a couple weeks, I still can't get the ethernet card working.
Here's my update:
Running:
win98se and Mandrake 7.0
3com 3c905B-TX (3C90x family)
Suggestion from subscriber:
the module for a 905b is 3c59x (insmod 3c59x)
Result:
./3c59x.o: init_module: Device or resource busy
Suggestion from subscriber:
insmod 3c90x
Result:
./3c90x.o: init_module: Device or resource busy
(I'm fairly sure there wasn't a 3c905b or 3c905 module...but if there was, I
tried it and recieved the same result.)
Suggestion from subscriber:
ifconfig
Result:
lo Link encap:Local Loopback
inetaddr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0
UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:3924 Metric:1

Suggestion from subscriber:
ps -ef | grep dhcp do you see an entry like: root 283 1 0 17:41 ?
00:00:00
/sbin/dhcpcd eth0 -h localhost.localdomain
Result:
no
Suggestion from subscriber:
check your /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 does it contain an
entry like: BOOTPROTO=dhcp
Result:
yes
Suggestion:
cat /proc/pci
Result:

Questions:
How can I tell if it's PnP?(whatever that is.)
Can you copy/paste text from a term window?
It seems like there is no conflict...so what is this Device or resource busy
stuff?
What's emu10k1? (under interrupts?)
Thanks all...sorry for the spam, but I just want to get this inet connection
up (on the plus side, each day I'm saving more and more emails from the list
I wanna try out once the connection IS up=))
