The card at home is a Realtek Semiconductor Co, Ltd.
8029 model PCI card (Drakconf on 7.0 found this
information fine. . .). I also checked that the
correct driver was being used, which it was, but I am
starting to think that what Drakconf thinks doesn't
really influence the rest of the system (i.e. the
kernel is not loading the proper module). Before this
system was running on Mandrake 6.1, and I had
absolutely no trouble setting it up (that happened to
be before Drakconf). It recognized everything
automatically.
The other system is at my school and has the exact
same problem. I don't know what card it is using, but
they are most likely different (the hardware function
doesn't even show up on that system's Drakconf). The
only reason I brought it up was because I that it
would support the notion that there might be a bug
preventing the card from being recognized (perhaps in
Drakconf?).
Also, I might be mistaken but I should get important
programs running when typing, "make config, xconfig,
menuconfig" but nothing happens (the system complains
a target wasn't set . . .). So perhaps these programs
are not included in 7.0. If so, is there any other
program I can use to reconfigure the kernel?
Thanks,
Ivan Stout
