I' ve recently installed S.u.S.E. on my computer but I' m having troubles making it to work. I subscribed this mailing list only a couple of days ago so excuse me if I make stupid questions or that have been made a lot of times here. I hope you' ll help me. Thanks.
My Suse Linux does not recognize my NE2000 ethernet card. During installation it was correctly recognized and the installation program assigned it a module but at boot I get these errors:
Setting un network device Mar 3 11:24:26 modprobe: can' t locate module broadcast SIOCSIFADDR: No such device Mar 3 11:24:26 modprobe: can' t locate module broadcast Mar 3 11:24:26 modprobe: can' t locate module broadcast SIOCSIFNETMASK: No such device
and at system shutdown it complains about a module "down" and a device not found. I added all card settings to /etc/conf.modules and appended "ether=12,0x300,eth0" to /etc/lilo.conf via Yast utility but the card is not recognized.
A few quick guesses: - could it be, that irq12 is used by some other device like an onboard mouse (some systems use irq12 for that) - did you recompile or use a modul for eth0? if have a look at /etc/conf.modules, search for ne2000 and correct io-adress and irq. I have gotten mad with that one. good luck jürgen -- ========================================== __ _ Jürgen Braukmann e-mail: brauki@cww.de | / / (_)__ __ ____ __ Tel: 0201-743648 dk4jb@db0qs.#nrw.deu.eu | / /__/ / _ \/ // /\ \/ / ========================================== /____/_/_//_/\_,_/ /_/\_\ -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
