[debian-knoppix] Multiple NIC Problem
Hello All,
I've been running a hdd install of Knoppix for a few months now, and have
been generally pleased. However, I'm finding that as I go along, more and
more hardware issues crop up.
I've been running just fine off of a 3Com 905TX NIC for that time; it's
worked like a charm. However, after I plugged in a new D-Link DWL-520
Wireless card (which was immediately recognized by the system), my 3Com card
ceased to be recognized. dmesg only had the wireless card, and
unsurprisingly at that point, ifconfig -a showed just eth0 as the wireless
NIC.
Obviously, the system has no problem with the old 3Com card, since it ran
like a charm and I didn't touch it. I found some vauge references to Knoppix
not liking multiple NICs when searching the forums on Knoppix.net, but I've
not been able to find squat in terms of actual info on the (possible)
problem anywhere else.
Does anyone know if Knoppix does barf out with two NICs? Obviously, this
can't be a permanent condition if it does die like that; what can I do to
fix this? I admit I'm new to Linux, but I've been running OpenBSD for a
couple of years, so I'm pretty comfortable with basic *NIX stuff, and I've
tried just about everything I can think of.
Thanks in advance.
Alex Kirk
