It's 01 Jul 98 14:05:00, We'll return to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and All's discussion of SN2000 (NE2000 compatible supposedly) do> I am attempting to install an SN2000 jumperless (non plug and play) do> network card on my redhat4.1 system. when i was installing linux i do> chose to setup the network card, and it wouldn't detect it with the do> NE2000 compatible driver even when i specified the irq/address. do> any ideas? if i upgraded to a newer kernel would i have more luck? or do> should i just bring the cards back to where i got them? any help is do> greatly appreciated. 2 things to try first: 1. Make sure you specify the I/O address in hex (e.g. 0x300, not simply 300). 2. If that fails, install the system without the network card drivers. Make sure you install the kernel source also, you will need this later. :-). Once the system is up and running, log in as root and recompile your kernel. When you run "make config", make sure you specify the NE2000 driver, and answer 'y' (instead of 'm'). This will compile the driver into the kernel, instead of leaving it as a loadable module (which the default Red Hat kernels use). Often, this may be enough. If that fails, you have one of those dodgy NE2000 clones, which you'd have to either read the Ethernet How To for hints on things to try, or return them for a refund. .. Put on your seatbelt. I'm gonna try something new. -- |Fidonet: Tony Langdon 3:632/367.2 |Internet: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | Standard disclaimer: The views of this user are strictly his own. -- PLEASE read the Red Hat FAQ, Tips, Errata and the MAILING LIST ARCHIVES! http://www.redhat.com/RedHat-FAQ /RedHat-Errata /RedHat-Tips /mailing-lists To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.
