Peter, Cool. Normally I would say this is a job you would use YaST to complete, but YaST doesn't understand "ci0" as a networking device. So, you can do it partway with YaST, and then finish it up by editing /etc/rc.config.
yast System administration->Network configuration->Network base configuration down arrow to your first unused network device (probably "1") F5 to select the device. Ethernet will work as a convenient lie if CLAW is not available. Press enter. If CLAW is available, you will _not_ have to edit the /etc/rc.config file as described below. F6 to set the IP address, netmask, default gateway, MTU size. Press enter when "continue" is highlighted. F4 to "activate" the device. This doesn't try to bring it up, only marks it as eligible for activation on the next system boot. F10 to exit. You'll see SuSEconfig kick off to update all the necessary files. Press "continue" when it gets highlighted. Exit Yast. (Multiple escape keys should do it.) vi /etc/config Find NETDEV_1 and change it from "eth0" to "ci0". Save your changes and exit vi. Please let me know of any corrections or clarifications to this procedure. Mark Post -----Original Message----- From: Peter E.

I copied my .config from my boot directory and edited the MakeFile. It now works when I load it manually. Now I want it to load when I boot. I added the following lines to /etc/modules.conf alias ci0 c7000 options c7000 base0=0x5100 lhost0=PEPC uhost0=PEPCOCEC The directions said to add some more lines to /etc/sysconfig/network, but naturally I do not have one. I want the claw active each time I boot my SuSE SLES7-beta. Again, am I missing something? Appreciate any input. Thanks again.

Take a look in your /boot directory. There should be/may be a file in there called image.config or something like that which contains the configuration options used when building your running kernel. Do a diff on that file against the /usr/src/linux.config and see what if any differences pop up. Also, take a look at the Makefile in /usr/src/linux. You should see some lines that start with: VERSION = PATCHLEVEL = SUBLEVEL = EXTRAVERSION = I suspect that what you'll see is VERSION = 2 PATCHLEVEL = 4 SUBLEVEL = 7 EXTRAVERSION = SMP If you change that last line to EXTRAVERSION = SuSE-SMP and get the c7000 module to recompile, you'll be home free. To get the module to recompile, do a find . -type f -name c7000.o -exec rm c7000.o \; then "make modules" again, followed by "make modules_install", "depmod -a" and the insmod command.

I get the following: ibm9672:/ # insmod -f c7000 base0=0x5100 lhost0=PEPC uhost0=PEPCOCEC noauto=1 Using /lib/modules/2.4.7-SuSE-SMP/net/c7000.o Warning: kernel-module version mismatch /lib/modules/2.4.7-SuSE-SMP/net/c7000.o was compiled for kernel version 2.4.7-SMP while this kernel is version 2.4.7-SuSE-SMP which is what I guess we all expected. I issued the following: ibm9672:/usr/src/linux # grep CONFIG_MODVERSIONS .config # CONFIG_MODVERSIONS is not set which I guess is good. So this problem stems from the wrong source tree. I got the SuSE source tree from YaST option "D Development (C, C++, LISP,ETC.)". I then selected "Kernel Source ? The source of the SuSE Kernel". Should I be pulling the SuSE Kernel source from somewhere else? Am I issuing the commands from UTS README.1ST from the wrong directory? Thanks for any more ideas? Peter
