good day all ...
here is the system: micron xku/suse5.1/3com905 vortex.
i cannot get networking to work even though it looks like it should be. i configure appropriate ipaddr/netmask/gateway during the install. when i cat /proc/net/dev i get appropriate entries for the loopback interface, but where eth0 shold be there is an entry for dummy0 with no statistics available.
during boot (and if i try to start networking by hand) these messages get logged:
Starting up network device eth0. SIOCSIFADDR: no such device SIOCSIFBRDADDR: no such device SIOCDIFNETMASK: no such device.
i must have made a mistake somewhere during the install. could some kind soul tell me how to fix this one? thanks in advance!
Make sure you have the line alias eth0 3c59x in your /etc/conf.modules
