Re: [SLE] LinkSys 10/100Mb card and HOWTO
Hi Gary, First try: "modprobe tulip" and post the results, will see... Also did you try the CD boot i mentioned earlier?? It is of great help, boy. ---- Gary Kline wrote:

Post a small portion of them, please.
Should the alias eth0 tulip perhaps be alias eth0 tulip.o ??
No, it is "alias eth0 tulip".
Also, can you give me the correct syntax for insmod, please? insmod -o tulip.o pops up a Usage: screen that doesn't make much sense at this point!
Do "man 8 insmod" and you will find.
thanks,
gary

There has to be some hardware glitch, and I haven't the ability to check out the LinkSys board. The errors I get when trying to install the tulip module say: "Device or resource busy" which I took to mean that the cat5 cable was plugged into the hub (which is was) so the line was active. I've unplugged the hub end of the line, rebooted, and still get the same strange boot errors. So: I dunno. I'm lost.

I gave away my 6.4 distro; looking forward to buying 7.0 when it is available.

No, it is "alias eth0 tulip".
