sorry about the typo... and good catch Tim.. That's probably a 3com 905x card... you'll want to use the 3c59x.o driver...
Lets go back and try to figure out if you're using a module based kernel. try 'lsmod' (let me check for typo's... nope, that's correct 'lsmod' ).. btw, lspci, lsmod, etc ARE seperate and distinct from 'ls'. They may be in a funny directory, perhaps /sbin/lsmod, or /usr/sbin/lsmod, which may well not be in your path. Try 'find / -name lsmod -print' or 'locate lsmod' if your system has the slocate db set up.. I've never been on a mandrake system, so I dunno where things are hidden. Anyway, once you locate lsmod, send it's output to the list ( "bring us a shrubbery!" yikes, there I go dating myself again) Also, do an "ls -lR /lib/modules" and send that along ( might be long, so you just might want to try to locate drivers/net for your kernel in all the output. - jim On Tue, 1 Apr 2003 00:14:46 -0800 Jay Schaffer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On Monday, March 31, 2003, at 10:28 PM, James Washer wrote: > > > There are many different 3com cards.. > > > > First step... do an 'lspic' and send this to the group... we have to > > first make sure the card is seen in the pci bus ( I'm assuming here > > that this IS a pci card). > > ##### Thanks for the reply Jim and thanks Tim for the typo correction. > The NIC is a PCI card. > > I tried 'lspci' and was told there was no such command.
