| |
Hello Everybody, I'm having problems with the recognition of a 3c509b ethernet card. If I use the scsinet boot disk the card is recognized and I can "ifconfig eth0 ..." etc. However, if I don't use the boot disks and use the A (Linux Kernel 2.00) and the N sets which I've installed, the card doesn't appear during boot-up. Also "cat /proc/net/dev" doesn't show eth0. I did disable the Plug and Play option under DOS as suggested bu the ETHERNET-HOWTO. I've noticed that there is a 3c509.c driver written by Donald Becker which is supposed to work under 1.2.13. Has anybody tried this driver with 2.0.0? Is compiling the driver and doing "insmod" the only alternative or is there another possibilty .... I have a Gateway 2000 486/33c machine. thanks a lot, bye, Rajnish.
