In Knoppix, I must use the ASDL/PPPOE Configuration tool (pppoeconfig
in the shell). This configured the network and what-not, enabling me
to connect.
In Debian, I have tried this. It says the SCIOSIFFLAGS (or whatever, I
mentioned it above) was busy. In addition, pppoe sais that the network
was down.
I tried yoru steps: Didn't work. 3c59x wasn't listed. So, I went in to
pppoeconfig, chose NO and got to a place where I could install it. I
have tried this before: It failed yet again. It did, however, mention
and improper IRQ configuration as the possible source of error.
Right now, my Ethernet card seems is at IRQ 0. (By the bye, I have no
idea what that means: Hence the different verbs to describe what the
IRQ 0 is.). I am convinced that if I can change that, it will detect
and work.
So, how do I change it?
