i've recompiled the kernel mutiple times checking
the configuration i've used countless times with other distro's my network card
failed to come online. it's reconized but unless i go back to the stock kernel
it fails to bring up the network. The configuration is correct as i've went over
it many times. I'm used the debain version of the kernel source 2.4.18
with a linksys card using the tulip driver? anyone with advice on what I
might be missing? This is just one computer connected to a cable
modem.
the ifconfig output with the net kernel
is:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr
00:04:5A:50:AA:6F
UP
BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:0
errors:0 dropped:0 overrns:0 frame:0
TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0
overrns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0
txqueuelen:100
RX bytes:0
(0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)
Interrupt:11
Base address:0xe800
The card seems to share the same irq with the
built in sound (via686a southbridge) altho it doesnt cause any probelms with
stock kernel or other distro's after a recompile. I'm guess it's not a kernel
probelm but a debian config i'm not aware of? any help or pointers to man pages
or sites that could help me would be
great.
Thanks
Will
