Ethernet Card Install Problems
First of all, your compreshensive documentation for trouble shooting
install problems is to be commended. Unfortunately, it did not lead to
a succesful install, therefore I'm asking you folks.
I'm trying to install Debian 3.0 Stable with 2.2 kernal onto my home PC
and cannot get the ethernet card to work. The machine I'm attempting to
install Debian on has a 120 gig hard drive. The first 60 gig are for
Windows (for my kids and their games) - the second 60 gig is for Linux.
At first I was trying a Linksys card but gave up. After reviewing your
documentation, I decided to purchase a Netgear card; with its limited
number of chip set choices I figure I'll have a better chance at
success. After getting successfully Debian installed (save the
ethernet), and then going to /lib/modules/2.2.../net directory and
trying insmod natsemi.o, I get the following message:
natsemi.o - unresolved symbol pci_drv_unregister
natsemi.o - unresolved symbol pci_drv_register
natsemi.o
You are trying to load a module without a GPL compatible license and it
has unresolved symbols. Contact the module supplier for assistance,
only they can help you.
The Netgear card is a FA-311 - the documentation say this is supported.
Attached are text files of demsg and lspci. This is a PC with a Asus
A7V266-E motherboard with a gig of RAM, a Creative Laps Audigy sound
card, and an ATI video board. I notice that the ethernet card is
assigned IRQ 0 (several other devices for that matter) - I interpret
this as Linux not knowing what to do with the card (and the other
devices). Any suggestions as to what I'm doing wrong?
Any light on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Best Regards,
Patrick Moroney
PS - BTW - I have Debian installed on another machine & it works fine.
Great distro
