A few days ago I bought a 10/100Mb LinkSys ethernet card at CompUSA
   for my 6.4 Linux system.   I have 2 older (10Mb) cards on this home
   network between my two FreeBSD boxes; they work fine.  The card is
   lit on the 10Mb LED and it my hub shows the connection too, so at
   least the hardware connection there seems solid.
But I've having trouble trying to get my new box "suzah.thought.org"
   talking to this box, "tao.thought.org" and wonder if any of you
   can help me.
Last night I used the YAST tool to configure various network things,
   including the ethernet link.  No joy.  And so far today, likewise,
   no luck.  I don't see any indication that the Linux system even
   sees the card--from dmesg.  What should I be looking for?  Also,
   do I need to install any kernel module?
You need to get the very latest ethernet drivers from Donald Becker's
site at:

 http://www.scyld.com/network/updates.html
 ftp://ftp.scyld.com/pub/network/netdriver-2.0.src.rpm

It will not work with the old driver (at all). (I bought three of
these at CompUSA also -- it is a small world.)
...
I have "suzah" designated as 10.0.0.3, but even trying
% telnet 10.3

...
fails with the error that the "Network is unreachable."
You have not got a working card driver loaded yet -- once you have,
you can use yast to configure and it will work (and you might want to
take a look at /etc/rc.config to see if there are any more options you
want to use -- be sure to remember to run SuSEconfig after modifying
/etc/rc.config or configuring with yast (if it forgets to do so for
you, as it sometimes will)).
