No eth0 device -- to bad.
Ran "ifstatus etho", received "Could not get a valid interface name: -> skipped"
Understandable.
Ran "grep -I eth0 /var/log/boot.msg" and received "eth0" and on /var/log/messages and got nothing back. Got the same response when I ran "grep -I dhc /var/log/messages". What do I look for when I run "lsmod" or dmesg? Where is "ethtool" located?
lsmod would show a loaded driver. Try hwinfo --netcard first, to see what is found and what driver is suggested. ethtool is located in a package named ethtool.
The network adapter works fine since I can connect on the Windows side of my system to the internet. I'm not running a firewall yet on the Linux side since I don't have connectivity.
Obviously the card does not (yet) work find under Linux. We are not yet perating on the firewall or even dhcp level, first we must get the kernel to recognize the card at all ;) By the way (I'm remembering it only now):
Under Network Card configuration it reads 'Available are other (not detected)' but below that it reads 'Already configured devices: Ethernet controller configured as eth0 with DHCP.'
as you wrote it is "not detected", which driver did you configure? Peter
