I tried setting up a Linksys LNE100TX NIC on my HP / MDK7 / Win98 machine. I
have it up at boot as seen in my dmesg, but when I run ifconfig, eth0 states
Broadcast and not Up Broadcast. I can't ping it from my internal network and
I see the routes are correct. Mdk7 has the tulip driver already compiled and
everything I tried seems okay. The card is set as active in the etherconfig
and routes are correct in the route tables. I have checked the scripts and
they all have the required variables. I guess the question is how to get the
broadcast up or what else could be wrong.
My buddy said to buy a supported NIC like a 3COM. Maybe he's right, but the
Linksys should work... right?
