Hi! I just got my trusty Debian Linux
installed and here's my hardware setup:
486/66 with 8 MB RAM, 630 MB hard disk,
3C509B-combo NIC
My problem is during initial installation I
wasn't able to setup the NIC so now here I am in the # prompt not knowing how to
add/configure it. I read thru all the HOWTOs and mini-HOWTOs (relevant
ones of course), recompiled the kernel with 3C509 support but still it would
give me:
eth0: unknown interface
as the error message. In SCO UNIX there's
this netconfig command to add a NIC and assign protocols and ip address before
recompiling the kernel. What's the equivalent command/steps in
Linux?
TIA.
