Good day friends, I did a modprobe 3c509 on, it went ok... irq10, i/o 0x300 etc and after that I configured my network setting using the DrakConf... set-up my host name, IP and all... it works but not for long and not permanently. when it worked, i can ping the server, itself and other PCs on the LAN but when I rebooted everything is gone again. I did modprobe again... now, it says i/o error... this got me confused... really confused. it's so easy to configure this thing in Win95/98/NT/2000... when it comes to Linux... i'm lost and confused. checked almost every book there is, but it seems the writer are more interested in successfully installed Linux with everything configured during installation then after. How do you configured a newly installed device in Linux i.e. Ethernet card, MPEG card, etc. Thanks!
