Hello all, I am trying to install a Linksys NIC but SuSE 7.0 Professional is not recognizing it. It is the LNE100TX, version4.1 in a PCI slot. I have tried using the tulip driver as suggested. What makes me upset is that is says "Tested with LINUX" on the front of the box, but when you look in manual they say they don't support "beta" software and that includes linux. So, if anybody has successfully installed this card, I would gladly take any/all ideas. TIA

I pulled my hair out over the course of several days trying to get that card to work with 7.0. I finally gave up and used a Netgear card instead. Interestingly, the Linksys worked immediately on my Caldera 2.4 system. *************************************************** Powered by SuSE Linux 7.0 Professional KMail 1.0.29.2 Bryan S.

Got it working, but no thanks to Linksys! I actually found the help I needed from the Netgear website. Here is the info I needed (from http://www.scyld.com/network/updates.html): Building updated drivers into the kernel The updated drivers may be also be linked into the kernel, rather than being used as a module that is linked later. Replace the drivers in drivers/net/* with the updated driver list. Most kernel versions do not natively support the pci-scan.c layer. You will have to explicitly add pci-scan.o to the L_OBJS entry in drivers/net/Makefile. L_TARGET := net.a -L_OBJS := auto_irq.o +L_OBJS := auto_irq.o pci-scan.o -M_OBJS := +M_OBJS := pci-scan.o MOD_LIST_NAME := NET_MODULES I had to move the pci*.c, tulip.c and kern_compat.h into the /usr/src/linux/drivers/net then recompile. I used YAST1 (don't care for the fancy version) to configure both devices and all seems to be working well. I don't care to use modules, that is why I built it into the kernel. Hope this helps somebody else. jonathan wrote:
