[newbie] 3c574tx compatible with tullip Networking setup for PCMCIA on laptop

[mineispooter]

OK... Very Very cool. I figured out my problems. with my laptop. I loaded Redhat 6.2 Gnome vs KDE and entered in all my server info. I still had a problem with no Kernel module for the 3c574tx PCMCIA. I tried a kernel module simular (3c509) and FAILED. I then tried the more versitile and compatible driver I know of. I tried the TULLIP module and saw the thing configure in front of my eyes! Here is the steps I took to install properly:   start xwindows (startx) Open a terminal logged as ROOT. type control-panel. go to the chick with the wand... enter all yer server info - at interfaces, there should be 2 things: lo (loopback) and eth0. if there is no eth0, add one. in my case, added dhcp proto no ip or subnet. do not activate yet. goto the kernel in control-panel then add module eth0 tullip dont enter io or interupt. the system will determin it for you. save changes on kernel. go back to chick with wand (network configurator) goto interfaces activate eth0. watch your terminal window... it should say somthing about determining ip from host or something like that. close control panel once complete. use the reboot command and it should once rebooted let you onto internet. i see activity on the lcd screen for the pcmcia adapter onboard my laptop (status screen) open netscape type in a address.   if this dont work with 3c574tx, generic card services, redhat 6.2 with gnome desktop stock with no updates, then either their is a hardware failure, or the server info is been entered incorrectly. (be sure to contact your isp's tech support for adsl setup and server info.) make sure network is plugged in upon config.   just wanna help :-) ----- Original Message ----- From: mineispooter To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, October 23, 2000 12:30 AM Subject: Re: [newbie] Networking setup for PCMCIA on laptop Jim,   I noticed you have a Cisco 675 on dsl. I am using Verizon for dsl access (bronze package) I just recently bought a Cisco 675. I'm have some of the same issues with Redhat and my laptop (a generic from maxstation) wich has a 3com 3c574tx PCMCIA nic. Redhat 6.2 will init the card services and notice there is a 56k modem and the nick below it. However, There is no kernel module for this card.   I just recently got my other big redhat system up on the net using my previous router (external Fujitsu SpeedPort) Unlike the Cisco, you cannot telnet into this router. it's all done automatically internally. Verizon just changed it's domain (previously dsl.gtei.net. Now it's dsl.vz.genuity.com with a new DHCP server address.   Here is the way my redhat system is setup this is in 6.2.
