Re: Re: Configuring Network Card
I installed Sarge and it detected the network card! Thanx!
Re: Configuring Network Card
Anyway, I'm trying to install linux and I can't get debian to detect my Intel Pro 10/100 network card. I just bought an emachines T3958 desktop to setup linux and learn how to use it, but I need the networking capabilities. I've tried using both kernel 2.2 and 2.4, when I try to install I had an Emachines box in which the NIC wasn't detected unless I ran a 2.6 kernel with Sarge. Sorry, I don't have the specifics anymore, but eMachines leaves me cold. - John -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi! Next time try to be more specific about the error messages and the situation. Anyway, I think you must install your kernel's sources (either from your distribution's packages, or from the linux kernel archives). Daniel -- LeVA
Configuring Network Card
Hello everyone and thank you for being so helpful on the list. Anyway, I'm trying to install linux and I can't get debian to detect my Intel Pro 10/100 network card. I just bought an emachines T3958 desktop to setup linux and learn how to use it, but I need the networking capabilities. I've tried using both kernel 2.2 and 2.4, when I try to install eepro100 as a kernel/device module in the install screen, it doesn't work. I've also tried installing it after logging in as root, going to http://sourceforge.net/projects/e1000/ and downloading the e100-3.4.10.tar.gz file and following the directions on the readme. I think the error I got when trying to make install the file is something like, the kernel was not found. Thank you in advance
RE: Configuring Network Card
While installing this driver, keep in mind that you should turn off the disable the OS Plug-n-play option in bios, too. This caused me a problem last week. I had the driver installed but the card still did not function until I disabled this option.

Yes, but I'll have to know what the card is to know which driver to use. Add the line alias eth0 to /etc/modutils/local_config (create the file if it doesn't already exist) and run 'update-modules'.

The following is a list of some of D-Link's cards and the corresponding driver name : DE-530TXtulip DFE-530TX via-rhine DFE-530TX+ rtl8139 I know they also make an ISE NE2000 clone card which would use the 'ne' driver, but I don't know the model number.

configuring network card solved.
just FYI for all the newbies who were trying to figure out how to configure the network card. the easiest way I found was to reinstall the whole system. The installation program is very easy to use and sets up all the files. (It is also very easy to miss). I re-reinstalled again lastnight and there it was; network card, gateway, hostname, IP, nameservers.. I'm surprised that debian doesn't have this installation program available after installation is completed so that we can go back and change/add network settings.. xucaen __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Configuring Network Card
I am trying to add a network card and I am having a lot of trouble. Can anyone out there help? When I enter the command "ifconfig eth0 ", I get: eth0 Link encap:AMPR NET/ROM HWaddr inetaddr:143.122.16.109 Bcast:143.122.16.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 BROADCAST RUNNING MTU:0 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 Interrupt:5 Base Address:0x280 The inet, broadcast and mask addresses all look fine. I am assuming that since the program responded that it tested the IRQ5 and base address for the network card (Is this a safe assumption?) When I enter "route -n ", I get the following reponse Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MetricRefUse Iface 127.0.0.00.0.0.0 255.0.0.0U00 0lo and that's it! There is no entry for my network card. So, I try to add it to the system. When I enter the following: "ifconfig eth0 143.122.16.109", I get: SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such device If I then enter "route add 143.122.16.109", I get SIOCADDRT: Network is unreachable What's going on?

Help in configuring network card
Hi all, When I initially installed the Debian Linux system, I did not have a network card installed. I now have a 3COM network card installed and connected to our Novell network. Is there any utility which will automatically do this (i.e. prompt for the IP address, Hostname, DNS server, etc.? Also, what packages do I need (if any)?
