ETHERNET (3com) problems at boot: unknown interface
Dear reader.
I have an i386-25 with 4 Mb RAM with a 3COM 3c509 ethernet card.
the problem: at boot I have the following messages:
SIOCSIFADDR: operation not supported by device
eth0: unknown interface
SIOCSIFNETMASK: operation not supported by device
SIOCSIFBRDADDR: operation not supported by device
eth0: unknown interface
SIOCADDRT: network is unreadable.
and:
failed initialization of WD-7000 SCSI card. (what's this??)
How can I tell linux that the computer has a 3com 3c509 ethernetcard?
(I'm completely new with linux/unix)
Thank you in advance
Ulrich

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If a fiddler played you a song my love,
and if I gave you a wheel.
Would you spin for my heart and loneliness,
would you spin for my love.
If I gave up all of my pride for you,
and only loved you for now.
Would you hide my fears and never say,
Tomorrow I must go.
Everywhere, there's rain my love.
Everywhere, there's fear.
If you tell me a lie, I'll cry for you.
Tell me of sin and I'll laugh.
If you tell me of all the pain you've had,
I'll never smile again.
Everywhere there's rain my love.
Every where there's fear.
I can plainly see that our parts have changed.
Our sands are shifted around.
Need I beg to you for one more day,
to find our lonely love.
Everywhere there's rain my love.
Everywhere there's fear.
