Confused about Cable modem/ NIC setup
Hi all:
I had problems with the dhcp client that comes with slink, so I
installed the version that's in potato. It installed okay, but it
prompted me for a network device from a list that it apparently found.
Unfortunately, it found none.
I have a Linksys card and I've been to their site and followed
instructions on making the latest version of their tulip driver
available when I compile the kernel.
I compiled my kernel, and I get this message about my nic when I
rebooted:
tulip.c:v0.90 10/20/98 becker@cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov
eth0: Lite-On 82c168 PNIC at 0xe800, 00 a0 cc 22 71 e4, IRQ 12.
eth0: MII transceiver #1 config 3100 status 7829 advertising 01e1.
Is this right? Is my card being recognized? It looks similar to the
example in the Cable-Modem-mini-HOWTO.
However, ifconfig doesn't show eth0, I just get lo and ppp0 (right now).
The linksys site mentions to do a cat /proc/pci, so I did and it looks
like:
PCI devices found:
Bus 0, device 9, function 0:
Ethernet controller: Lite-on LNE100TX (rev 32).
Medium devsel. Fast back-to-back capable. IRQ 12. Master
Capable. Latency=64.
I/O at 0xe800.
Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xea000000.
for my NIC.
The Linksys website mentions that if the output of the cat /proc/pci
looks like this:
Bus 0, device 9, function 0:
Ethernet controller: Lite-on LNE100TX (rev 32).
Medium devsel. Fast back-to-back capable.
Master Capable. No bursts. I/O at 0x0.
then my BIOS is configured wrong.
Can anyone help me/point me in the right direction? I've read the
Cable-Modem-mini-HOWTO, the Ethernet-HOWTO, and a couple other docs
written by people at my local LUG, but they use redhat and do everything
from the control panel and network configuration tools that redhat has.
TIA
