Anyone got a definitive, for-sure answer for me on this one?
At school we've got RedHat Linux 6.2 on the lab machines, so I put it on the home computer, too. I can't get it to recognize my Linksys LNE100TX card. The box says "Tested with Linux" right there on the front, and there's a second driver floppy with the tulip driver as source code, tulip.c.
I went to the Linksys site and got some docs that I followed very carefully. Got it to compile and got it in the right spot in the filesystem, did all the configuration correctly as far as I know. The IP addresses must be the same as how it's set up for Windows, nespah?
In the compile process I came to the last step, modprobe tulip.o, and it said tulip.o not found. I can see it right there, the file is right there! I set the permissions to 777 and everything I could think of. At boot, it says insmod fails, and the initialization has failed.
At RedHat.com, it turns out the 6.2 Compatibility list specifies that this card is not compatible. And I've seen lots of posts at other forums where people are ranting about its incompatibility. I called Linksys tech support, and the guy declined to talk about it. I reminded him it says Linux right on the box, and he said there's info on the web but not on the support line. I told him that's bad. Humfff.
Anyway, before going for another card, anyone got a definitive yes or no for me? If you think it should work, can we get into the details of what I might have done wrong??
Thanks so much.
