How to create /dev/eth*?
I recently got a DSL connection at home. When I first installed Linux in
this machine at home it did not have an ethernet card. I used to use ppp
to connect to the net. This machine is running slink from the mid-feb
time-frame.
I copied over /etc/init.d/network from another Debian box and edited the
IP, GATEWWAY etc. parts. I notice that I do not have /dev/eth*. How do I
create these /dev/eth* entries?
Plug:
Brad in Kingston technologies' tech support line was really helpful. I
called Kingston expecting the "I'm sorry. We do not support Linux"
response. I asked Brad what chipset theit KNE110/TX PCI ethernet cards
were based on. He immediately pulled up a URL which talks about Linux
support for this card (http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/pnic.html)
and emailed it to me.
Thaths
PS: Would appreciate if you Cc-ed me in your replies to this thread.
