ifconfig fails.
Greetings,
I'm trying to install Debian 2.0 on an old 486dx4/100 with 32 MB of RAM,
2 GB of scsi disk, and a tulip-based PCI ethernet card. This is an Asus
SP3g-based machine.
Installing from the base disk set went fine. When the system rebooted
after the base install the network was not visible. I noticed that the
light on the back of the ethernet card was out. Upon investigating some
more I noticed that the light is on when the tulip driver is loaded, and
goes out when the first 'ifconfig' is done. Ifconfig returns
"SIOCSIFFLAGS: Resource temporarily unavailable".
I'm pretty sure the card is not dead because I've tried more than one
and I see the same symptoms.
Any suggestions appreciated.
