   In the new DNS server I'm building, is the following ifconfig
   line correct for the first AMD NIC:
 
   ifconfig_pcn0=inet 216.231.43.140  netmask 255.255.255.0

Yes, that looks good (if the ip address and the netmask are correct ;-)

Be sure to either recompile your kernel with the following options

device miibus
device pcn

or to load the module version of the driver: if_pcn.ko

For more options of that NIC driver, you can have a look at its man
page: pcn(4).

Thanks very much.  I just found the GENERIC kernel file;
yup, both devices are in by default.  (It makes sense 
to me at least to have just about every dev in by default.
If somebody wanted less functionality, trimming back 
could be a fine-tune option.

NIC question...

2004-04-02 Thread Gary Kline 

Hi folks,

On my HP computer, Redhat has this listed as its NIC:

Ethernet controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] 79c970 \
[PCnet 5778-LANCE] (rev 25)

In the KERNEL configuation files I grep'd the following 
re the AMD NIC:

device  pcn # AMD Am79C79x PCI 10/100 NICs

In the new DNS server I'm building, is the following ifconfig
line correct for the first AMD NIC:

ifconfig_pcn0=inet 216.231.43.140  netmask 255.255.255.0

(To get my net link working is most important, but there are
webserver and mailserver issues too.  It'd be great to just
switch cables and have everything Just-Work {TM}, but that
seems unlikely!!!)

thanks for any insights,

gary
