I have to compile support for my network card in my kernel, you may have to as well. I normally use xconfig to configure my kernel. === john bitar cruel@rocketmail.com "Some people have a life, others have Windows to tell them where they want to go today" -- Ronald C.F.

Hello: I need help!

I am trying to install S.u.S.E. Linux 5.2. I have found the

generally straight forward except for one thing, I can't get my network card to work.

It is a LinkSys EtherPCI LAN CARD II which is reported by the set up program as an ne2000 clone. This coresponds with the information given by LinkSys on their web site which recommends the ne2k-pci.o driver.

Under Win98 the card works fine with TCP/IP and is reported at i/o 0xFCE0 - FCFF and irq=9, but seems undetectable under Linux, it is either reported as absent or "device busy" when atempting to load the correct module. Having tried every possible combination of settings I can find I am now at a loss.

The following messages are displayed at boot time; Setting up network device eth0 SIOCSIFADDR: No such device SIOCSIFBRDADDR: No such device SIOCSIFNETMASK: No such device which I realise means the driver isn't installing despite being set up in YAST

Can you please provide a step by step guide to setting this card up from the root prompt(I am a unix newbie)or point me in the right

installation direction. I

normally try to work things like this out for myself but this time I am completely confused.

Thanks
