[SLE] Linksys cards
Two things I want to ask. First has anyone have any luck with the newer linksys cards? They say v.4.1 PCI 10/100 on the card and they don't work with the tulip drivers. Have the same chip on the card from what I can read in the stamping but no go for the tulip driver. Second, I have an older linksys card, v.2.0 PCI 10/100 and everythings been working fine for the last year connected to my DSL then all of a sudden tuesday I lost connection (GTE/Verizon haveing difficulties). When the connection was fixed, I still could not connect, restart system, still no go. Unplug card, nothing, Put in above ethernet card, couldn't get a driver to work with it. Finally, I switched the two cards call outs in my /etc/conf.modules file calling it eth0 eth1 and vice versa (I have a linksys and a builtin pcnet32 ethernet connection). This allowed me to get the connection back up on both the internal and external connections. I then reversed them back ot the original settings, linksys on eth0 and pcnet on eth1 and the connection worked again there as well. Anyway, nothing at all shows up in the logs or indicates what was causing the problem so I'm not sure what to look for, the only thing I got was the error at bootup of the firewall that says that eth0 doesn't exist or isn't available at this time. -- S.Toms - tomas@primenet.com - www.primenet.com/~tomas SuSE Linux v7.0+ - Kernel 2.2.17 "It's not Camelot, but it's not Cleveland, either." -- Kevin White, mayor of Boston -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq

I just picked up one of these and will be doing the install this weekend. My first question is what version is the OS and kernel? Second did you try the compiling modules on the floppy? I noticed that the new card has instructions to install the pci-scan module then the tulip module. I don't remember using a pci-scan module before so maybe this is new. I have the module source tar file that came with my card that I can send you if needed (it's about 200k). the the
error at bootup of the firewall that says that eth0 doesn't exist or isn't available at this time.
That's different. <shrug> Good luck, Tim -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq

I have Linksys Etherfast 10/100 PCI card version 4.1 and it works fine. Suse 7.0 install picked it up. When using Mandrake I picked the tulip driver it worked fine. Actually the box has a green sticker on it with a penguin stating "Tested with Linux". The only suggestion I can add is try moving it to another slot on your mother board.
