Re: Troubles: Internet, Printer, Sound More.
Ok. I went in to a shell and gave commands. Here are the results:
The internet, at this point, is the most important thing: With that, I
will be able to talk to you using Linux.
cat /etc/debian_version: 3.0
cat /etc/apt/sources.list: deb cdr0m: [debian GNU/Linux 3.0 r4 _Woody_
- official i586 Binary-1 (20050102)]/unstable contribution
non-US/contribution -US /main non-US/non-free non-free.
uname -a 2.2.20- idepci#1 i686unknown.
lspci (abridged: Perhaps I've taken out important information: If need
be, I shall put the entire result down): 00.0a.0 Ethernet Controler:
3Com Corporation 3c905B 100BaseTX [Cyclone] (rev 04 or 64; I can't
read my writing).
I noticed with the dmesg it said, basically, that IRQ 0 (which I
believe is for the eth0) may not work. Running pppoe, it says:
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Device or resource busy.
pppoe: Send (sendPacket): Network is down.
Linux knows that my eth0 exists: It simply can't access the
concentrator. I believe this is due to the fact that it has been set
to an IRQ of 0. How do I change this? Will this solve the Problem? I'd
rather upgrade my Linux kernel, KDE and Debian from the internet and
not have to re-install the whole thing with a CD. That is why (among
other things) I need the internet: It also would mean that I could
simply copy and paste the information you need in lieu of having to
write it all down and type it out: My HD is partinioned with Windows
2000.
Tell me what else you will require to solve this problem and I shall
fetch it soonly.
thank you Kindly.
