If anyone can refer me to info about this problem I shall apologise and look it up but I can't find anything in the archives or by Google. I am trying to install a non-PnP NE2000 clone in my opensuse 10.3 setup which I plan to use as a gateway/router for my home network. YaST2 occasionally seems to add the card (and by the way the 'Choose from a list" button referred to in the help info seems not to exist in the latest version) but the configuration I use gets applied to one of my other cards, and rarely persists past a second boot (the module, "ne" in this case, no longer gets loaded).
I have tried to put the module in /etc/sysconfig/kernel, and the parameters in /etc/modprobe.conf, after much research. And written an "ifcfg-ethx" for my new card. This sort of works, though most of the parameters in the ifcfg-ethx file get rejected at boot, presumably because they are being parsed by the wrong programme.
If anyone can tell me where else I need to put information about my card for it be properly integrated into the system, this would be very helpful. Another problem is that when the module is installed it does not seem to deliver a name for the device which then can then be displayed (like D-Link DE-220T) - I don't know whether this is relevant to yast not finding the card even when I load it on boot.
Many thanks for any advice, For such a task, imho SuSE 10.3 is a little obese.
I'd recommend ipcop that works with my PI 166 with one PCI and one ISA NE-2000 board. Kind regards Eberhard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
