Ironic; with MS products I'm finding just the opposite i.e. older stuff is
deprecated. This very same nic model is installed on my wife's w98
workstation and I made it a dual boot system when installing an eval copy
of Win 2003 server, but the darned thing won't recognize the nic so I'm now
thinking of when to schedule a format/repartition/reinstall of W98 on it.
It was getting cluttered up anyway. :)
Assuming it's a PCI card, try "lspci" and look for a Network/Ethernet
controller ... [snip] ... also try a google search on the model of your card
Worked like a charm Jacob. I googled the LNE100TX that Debian said was
installed; that got me to linksys' support page which under Linux said for
RH to use the Tulip driver; so I went back and configured that driver and
now I'm ssh'd into the box from my workstation.
I'm afraid I'm not familiar enough with Netgear cards to tell you which
driver you need.
Well I'm not familiar enough with Unix to generalize for Debian... all I've
got so far is the install manual and it doesn't seem enough. What else do
you recommend and where can I d/l it from?
In particular - how do I get debian [woody] to know that the hosts and dns
info is on 192.168.0.1 on my lan, and also where do I enable sftp? Oh, and
since I installed from the mini-iso I've probably got next to nothing on my
cd, so does debian use rpm's like redhat, packages like fbsd, or something
else? I'm wanting to install apache1.3, php, mysql, mod_perl... all the
usual suspects.
Cool homepage btw Jacob, my wife's family live in Houston I bet they'd get
a kick out of it.
