RE: Cheetah PCI NIC
I replied to this before, but must have got lost in the ether...
On the accton website (somewhere) you can download the
kernel module. It is listed as a linux driver, and comes as
a zip file 1207dlinux.zip. Within that zip archive are three
files:
en1207d.c Source code for the kernel module
en1207d.o The kernel module
Linux.txt Instructions for installing the module.
I followed the basic instructions in the Linux.txt file for
installing the kernel module, and was then able to ping the
internal network... (I'm running the bog standard Slink
kernel, YMMV)
NB: The method described of inserting the module will only
work until the next reboot. To make more permanent
arrangements, you will need to look into update-modules
(I didn't get around to that step, myself, I was just happy
to see the card finally working)
PS: If you want me to send you the zip file, let me know ..
I have a copy here on my PC at work .. its only about 60K

Subject: Cheetah PCI NIC
Hi all,
I do believe that this subject has been touched upon before. I was
wondering if there is someone out there who has used a Cheetah PCI NIC
from Accton.
I have installed it but do not know which module to use. I actually
tried the NE2000 module I believe (not the PCI version for some reason
or other) and Debian is able to see it but I can't seem to do anything
with it.
Should I have used something else?
Also, as I am quite new to Linux,is there someone out there able to
tell me how to go about changing the info to let debian know that the
NIC has changed. The last few times, I just basically re-installed
debian. I know this is not the proper way but I couldn't find any
documentation on how to change this info.
Anywone able to help?
Allen
