[Leaf-hardware] Network interface questions

[Shady Milkman]

Hello everybody. I've recently been expeirementing with the Bering LEAF distribution, but I'm having some problems when it comes to my network card(PCI SMC 1211TX). I looked up  the ethernet howto at linuxdoc.org and it said to use the rtl8139, but looking around i found that I'm supposed to use 8139too.o for the 2.4.x kernel version. Anywho, I loaded that and put it in my modules.lrp and it gave me some unresolved externals when I insmod'd it so I got the mii.o module and loaded that prior to loading the 8139too and it said it was all working. However, I can't get Bering to recognize it as either my eth0 or my eth1 interface. Right now I only have one network card and I'm just trying to get things set up, but I plan to add another network card. Anyway, the relevant lines of my /etc/modules are mii 8139too io=0x1000 irq=0x10   I found that out by looking up the info in windoze. Anyway what do I have to do for LEAF to use it as my interface? I was looking around at some other linux documentation and it had stuff about using "alias eth0 driver" or whatever and then "options driver x" but have seen nothing about this whil looking over the LEAF/LRP documentation. Could anybody explain to me what I have to do? BTW, after booting even when it tells it to load the 8139too module in /etc/modules when I check lsmod it says that it's not running, but mii is. ??? Also, when using ip addr it only says lo and dummy are the interfaces. Sorry I'm a linux newbie but I'm trying to learn I just can't find out where to tell it that eth0/eth1 maps to my NIC.   Thanks for any help, -Alan Scandella
