Re: [SLE] Help! modules.conf, yast2, NIC config problems 7.1

You should go to this page:
http://www.scyld.com/network/tulip-devel.html
or go to:
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/snbarth/new-tulip.tar
This is from the SuSE support database. It states that the tulip drive in 7.0 does not work. Also, the SuSE page for installing this is:
http://sdb.suse.de/en/sdb/html/ashley_linksys-tulip.html
This should work. I had the same problem when I used 7.0 (using 7.2 now) and this got it working just fine.
Good luck.
