I've reported this problem to HardDrake as well as Cooker, but never received
a reply. I'm really not sure who to send this problem to, so if this isn't
the right place, could you point to the proper channels?
I have a Linksys LNE1000TX NIC v. 4.0 connected to a Toshiba PCX1100 cable
modem. When I boot up with the NIC and select "Tulip" it fails to detect my
NIC. However, once installed, I go into DrakConf and select "Tulip" and it
*does* detect it.
Since the installation routine fails to detect the NIC during installation,
this prevents me from being able to do an FTP install.
I'd really like to be able to install Cooker without having to download the
whole thing to my hard drive. Since Linux-Mandrake detects it the NIC just
fine after it's installed, it seems that there should be some way of getting
it to work from the installation diskette.
As I understand it from reading the various newsgroups, the problem seems to
be with the version 4.0 of the LNE100TX. Those who have version 2.0 don't
seem to have any problems with NIC detection, but those with version 4.0, do.
Is it possible that the installation diskette is using an older driver than
what is installed by the CD?
Any ideas?
