First of all, before i get into any detail, when I type "ifconfig eth0"in the konsole, It cannot find the device. My network adapter is an ISA D-link 220p. The two computers are set up on a crossover cable, which was used a couple of days ago when i had windows 2k installed. The Host computers Ip is 192.168.0.1 Does anyone know what may likely be the problem? If you know what I have to do to get it working, could you please tell me? Any help would be GREATLY apprechiated. If you would need more information to help me, please tell me.

Thanks

Ive tried many tut's on the net, but it didnt help! It will not read my ethernet card! On boot up it says cannot load eth0 in use, os somethign similar, i noticed that the last time i booted up. What should i do?

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance
 
Try to figure out which module that nic needs and load that module. Remove any other nic modules that may be loading. Try ifconfig -a also
 
How would i go about doing this? Im new with linux, i only know the basics, nothing more. If you could lead me in the right direction i would very much apprechiate it. Thanks

Edit: Im running mandrake 7.1

First figure out which module you will need with your POS nic. I have no clue how to figure it out, check RedHat's hardware information pages. Then try loading that module. Look on linuxdoc.org on loading modules. One of the problems may be that you are using an ISA device. Ive had nothing but problems with ISA, thats why I use PCI. I also use well known nics that I know will work. 🙂
 
Well its a D-link!

Could you explain to me what the "module" is? Maybe I already know what it is. I dont know why it does not load it on start up, it finds it right away in the hardware manager.

Thanks
 
LKM- Loadable Kernel Module.

It is basically a dynamic driver (in this case).


Debian did not load the tulip module for my linksys card when I installed it, I had to set it up manually.
 
So i would basically have to search the net for it?


I currently do not have access to the net on the other pc, and it does not have a floppy drive. Would I have to download the module from the net?

Thanks for your help
 
Would the module be ne.o? If it is i have it somewhere on the pc, cuz i had the error on boot up saying it couldnt load ne.o. How would i go about installing this?

Thanks again
 
When in XP it recognizes it as a D-Link 220 card. In XP it recognizes it as a NE2000........ Help? I cant try loading the module now as every time i boot up it says theres an error with the hda6 file system, and i dont even have it installed?!

Thanks

Which partition was hda6?
 
I dont remember making a hda6!

All i made was the root partition "/" and the swap nothing more!

I tried opening the Konsole and typing "modprobe ne.o" it said that etc/conf.modules was newer then then lib/modules/2.bla bla/modules.conf or soemthing similar, then it said it could not locate the file
 
Im using ISA becuase it was given to me for free 🙂

i entered modprobe ne.o should i put in modprobe ne instead?

maybe a monir mistake like that?
 
I dropped the o, it said "Device or resource busy"
Any reason why?

Thanks

Edit: I forgot to tell you, i can ping myself, but no one else, maybe this can help you?

Probably. Check yout logs. See which modules are loaded right now. Im not psychic.
 
Found them 🙂

In the messages thing I got "ne.c no NE*000 card found at i/o=0xdc

Is there anythign in particular i should look for in the logs?

It looks like you need to figure out the io address of the ISA card.
 


<< io is 220, irq is 5

now what? >>



When you re-read the man pages for modprobe and maybe even ne.o/ne, pay special attention on assigning the io and irq's when loading a module. I think there is a way to do it then, but Im not positive because like I said, I use better hardware 😉
 
i know that with ifconfig its like ifconfig eth0 irq 5 io_addr 220 or something like that, ill give it a try, if you find any more solutions, please tell me about them 🙂
