Hi, guys.. I'm running SuSE 8.0 Personal in Dell Inspiron 5000e(notebook). I have a problem with the Internet connection. I'm using a Cable modem and Kingston KNE-PC2 Ethernet Card. I'm sure that the Cable modem, it works well in Windows2000. I just installed SuSE and configured "Network Card Configurations in Network/Basics". Then, I rebooted the com....Yep, when I tried KInternet, error messages showed up. Is there anyone who can tell me how to fix this problem. BTW, do I need to configure a cable modem itself in "Modem Configuration in Network/Bascis" ? These are some messages that I could get, /var/log/messages Sep 7 13:19:18 linux cardmgr[618]: could not adjust resource: IO ports 0xa00-0xaff: Device or resource busy Sep 7 13:19:18 linux kernel: cs: IO port probe 0x0c00-0x0cff: clean.

You are not in the evil world of Windows anymore. You don't need to reboot the computer to turn on your network card. If your card was recognised in YaST, and you configured it correctly, it will work once you exit YaST. KInternet is only for dial-up modems. You don't need to use it to use your cable modem. A cable modem interfaces to your computer with the network card (in your machine, the Kingston KNE-PC2 PCMCIA card). The Kingston KNE-PC2 card uses the pcnet_cs Linux driver. Your computer thinks it has a Wisecom WC-PC400 network card and is trying to load the smc91c92_cs driver. When it loads the driver it is looking for a specific chipset (the Wisecom card), and can't find it. That's why you are getting the errors. So... go back into your config, and remove the network card driver you loaded. Try again, and this time load the pcnet_cs driver. If you need some help with this do a Google search on "Kingston KNE-PC2 Linux" There is lots of information out there to help you get this working... just not on the Kingston website.. A quick check you can do to make sure your network card is working (after you have removed the wrong driver and installed the right one) is to open a Shell - Konsole. Type: su root and enter your root password Type: ifconfig You should see the network configuration information. You KNE-PC2 shoudl show up as eth0. If things are working correctly, you should see something like this: eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:50:BF:60:86:57 inet addr:192.168.0.4 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 where the inet addr is the address assigned by your cable modem/ISP. If you see this information, all is well, and you should just be able to open your favorite browser and surf away.
BTW, do I need to configure a cable modem itself in "Modem Configuration in Network/Bascis" ?
No. The modem configuration is for dial-up modems. They have nothing to do with your cable modem. [snipped most of the error log stuff]

I just have to add that you don't have to be root just to run ifconfig, only if you need to change something. Just open a shell and run /sbin/ifconfig and the info will be displayed. As a general rule one should try to avoid running as root as much as possible. //Anders
