Configuring a NIC
I?m trying to configure a a machine
and a small network. I have no eth0 recognized. An [ifconfig
-a] command returns a message:
lo Link
encap:Local Loopback
inet
addr:127.0.0.1Mask:255.0.0.0
RX
packets:50 . . .
TX
packets:50 . . .
An [ifconfig eth0] command returns an ?error fetching interface
information? message. My ethernet card sits on the motherboard and
it?s information retrieved with a [lspci] command returns:
00:0b.0 Ethernet controller: Advanced Micro Devices[AMD}
79c970 [PCnet LANCE] (rev 02)
Flags: bus
master, stepping, medium devsel, latency 0, IRQ 7
I/O ports
at 7000
What?s the best way to get this thing recognized at boot time. How
do I know which com port it?s configured for and/or I should put it
on.
