Re: Potato vs Realtek8029PCI NIC
More stuff:
I did a
# modprobe ne2k-pci
and I get this:
ne2k-pci..: PCI NE2000 clone 'Realtek RTL-8029* at I/O 0x20a0, IRQ
9.
eth0: RealTek RTL-8029 found at 0x20a0, IRQ 9, 00:00:B4:B8:94:CC
#
I suppose this means that the modular driver has been installed in
the kernel and detected my NIC. So far, great.
Wonder why kmod won't autoload it when I do "ifconfig-yadayada up" ?
BTW: What does the hex-part at the end mean?
Sorry if I'm being dense here, but a lot this is very unclear in the
net-howto, and I am trying to learn. This is my first lan! :-)
Thanks
