I bought the Linksys LNE100TX NIC because it claims to be
compatible with Linux (and I believe them). I haven't been too lucky,
though.
I downloaded and compiled the latest Tulip driver without
errors... successful first step.
I compiled the driver as a module (I got errors
when compiling it as part of the kernel), so following the instructions, I
type:
"insmod pci-scan" followed by
"insmod tulip"
Everything seems fine up until now, no
errors. In "kern.log" I even see the following:
Sep 8 20:10:00 navi kernel: tulip.c:v0.92i 7/31/2000 Written by Donald Becker <becker@scyld.com> Sep 8 20:10:00 navi kernel: http://www.scyld.com/network/tulip.html Sep 8 20:10:00 navi kernel: eth0: ADMtek Comet rev 17 at 0xc3023800, 00:20:78:1F:1D:1A, IRQ 9. Sep 8 20:10:00 navi kernel: eth0: MII transceiver #1 config 3000 status 7849 advertising 01e1. But this is as far as I get... When I type "ifup eth0" I get back a "Ignoring unkown interface eth0". Also, when I do a "ifconfig", I only see information about the loopback? device. I know that there have been many posts about this card, but the problems they've experienced are farther down the line... I can't even get past this stage. Any help is appreciated !!
