Hi all,
Can anyone help with the following problem with ethernet card? Much thanks
in advance.
Basically, the auto-detect does not recognize the card correctly. Even
after setting it to the correct card in DrakConf, at reboot it still revert
to the wrong card.
We recently purchased a Compaq SP750 workstation with an "Integrated Intel
PRO/100+ Management Adapter" with an Intel chip set 82559.
[DarkConf]----[Hardware Configuration] setup shows it as 82557 and try to
map it to "IBM i82557 10/100 PCI Ethernet Adapter". Here are the things that
I have tried & some information that hopefully will help:
------------------
