Have someone installed Linksys LNE 10 LNE 100 TX under Linux RH 7 succesfully???

[stingbandel]

Hi, I am so desperate to get this thing to work under my RH 7. So have someone had successfully installed the card under Linux RH7? If yes, please let me know how you did that. I check that Linux detects the card but it doesn't say anything about Linksys. It detects it as Ethernet Controller: Unknown Vendor Unknown device (rev 17) Vendor id=1317. Device id=965. Does it mean Linux has detected and installed the driver for it yet? So I need help on this one. I already poster this question on the Networking forum but haven't got the answer yet so I am just hoping someone who already got this one to work to let me know how to do it. thanks

It's not compatible with Linux I tried to installed it from mandrake 7.2 and it wouldn't work.

The NIC? Sure it is. The problem is getting the fscking drivers to compile, which I've finally accomplished for him.

Did it just last week... I pulled a different tulip module off the Linksys site that works with the card. I don;t really get why it doesn't work right out of the box, but whatever. Also, you might have to manually restart the init.d because that loads the network info for teh interfaces in the network script. I hope this helps.

LickEmSmack: Can you explain to me in a little bit detail cause I am newbie with Linux? If you don't mind, can you tell me the exact step that you did so I can install it right away? Since Damaged has sent me the pci-scan.0 and tulip.o, I am gonna try what he has told me, but maybe if you have easier way to do it then there is no wrong to try it also. Thanks

You wouldn't have to re-init, or change run levels, to just restart the network services. All you have to do, on a Mandrake/RH system is /etc/rc.d/init.d/network restart to effect changes.

The problem is getting the driver compiled under an RH 7 system beceause they have a broken implementation of gcc. However, I was able to get the drivers compiled for stingbandel and am waiting to see if they work for him.
