RE: No network connection with a Xircom RealPort Cardbus Ethernet 10/ 100 + Modem 56 (RBEM56G-100)
Ivar,
lsmod indicates that tulip_cb and the cb_enabler modules are indeed loaded.
Ifconfig -a shows the adapter (eth0). I did a ifconfig eth0 up, and the
adapter did activate, but it does not have an address. I would like it to
use DHCP to get all of the config info, but I did not see any info in the
man page for using DHCP. How can I do this? Also, how can I set this up so
that it is automatically brought up and configured with DHCP at boot time?
It case you all haven't guessed, I'm a "newbie', so I need all of the help I
can get ;-)
TIA,
Jon

Have you tried 'ifconfig -a'? Shows all adaptersm including those down.
Are the modules loaded ok? What does 'lsmod' show?
You might have to specify your network properties (eg IP, NetMask etc) and
start the interface with ifconfig. See the man page.
