Here's what I get (I tried the other PCMCIA slot 'eth1' as well... no luck) $ ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.20 up SIOCSIFADDR: No such device eth0: unknown interface: No such device eth0: unknown interface: No such device

Hey all & happy holidays...
I was wondering if anyone might have some insight
into
a network problem I'm having.
My networking setup in SuSE 7.1 was working flawlessly. Then I backed up everything and
installed
7.3, but with the same settings I'm unable to get
my
network back up. Just to test my sanity I
reinstalled
7.1, got the network back up, and did an upgrade install to 7.3. Sure enough 7.3 mucked up my
settings
somehow.
Anyway, if you're still with me and don't mind
having
a look at some info I procured, I sure appreciate
your
time. Sorry if there's redundant info here
(please
skip right on over it)...
Setting up the 'Network Configuration' via
Yast/Yast2
produces no errors. But I can't 'ping' myself. $ ping 192.168.1.20 connect: Network is unreachable
--------------------------------------------
The PCMCIA HOWTO claims that 'Network is
unreachable'
is "foolproof indication of a routing error", but
the
routing info (only a static IP address & netmask)
is
identical to my 7.1 settings.
Ok, I'll start from the beginning. I have a
LinkSys PC
Card - NP100. 'SUPPORTED.CARDS' lists a 'Linksys NP100 Network Everywhere v2' (w/axnet_cs driver) and a 'Linksys NP100 Network Everywhere' (w/pcnet-cs driver).
--------------------------------------------
Here's what cardctl tells me. (v2?) $ cardctl ident Socket 0: product info: "Network Everywhere", "Fast
Ethernet
10/100 PC Card", "2.0", " " manfid: 0x0149, 0xc1ab function: 6 (network)
--------------------------------------------
proc/net/dev shows no sign of 'eth0' (I believe
'eth0'
was automatically detected in 7.1) $ cat /proc/net/dev Inter-| Receive

face |bytes packets errs drop fifo frame compressed multicast|bytes packets errs drop

--------------------------------------------
And 'ifconfig' doesn't list 'eth0' either (only 'lo'?). $ ifconfig
lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:8 errors:0 dropped:0

--------------------------------------------
And 'route' also gives me absolutely nothing
(i.e., no
'eth0'). $ route Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask

Is my problem with resource assignments? Here's my interrupts. $ cat /proc/interrupts CPU0 0: 192611 XT-PIC timer 1: 10364 XT-PIC keyboard 2: 0 XT-PIC cascade 8: 2 XT-PIC rtc 11: 4 XT-PIC usb-ohci, i82365 12: 13650 XT-PIC PS/2 Mouse 14: 10213 XT-PIC ide0 15: 5 XT-PIC ide1 NMI: 0 LOC: 0 ERR: 0 MIS: 0

Now here's a section from '/var/log/messages'. I
don't
understand much here... Some IRQ problems? It does show a load attempt of the 'axnet_cs' driver, but
at
the bottom there's a problem. ... Dec 26 08:32:41 boo kernel: Linux PCMCIA Card
