Hi, I have 2 NE2000 compatible ethernet cards That I m trying to install on my Linux PC(redhat5.0,kernel2.0.32). The first one was successfully recognized as an NE2000 ethernet card during the install process and everything is OK for it. But my second ethernet card (hardly need to install it for routing purposes) is causing me headaches: The docs suggested to open the case of my PC, physically install it, then reboot. And normally I m supposed to have it automatically recognized by the kernel. No, it s not part of my booting arguments and ifconfig command ignores it. I also couldnt manually configure it with ifconfig(error=No such device) and trying to load it as module failed. So, I went recompiling kernel but none of the numerous ethernet devices options were compatible with mine (I have a Linksys Ether PCI II LAN card, which can easily work as NE2000 compatible). I chose NE2000 compatible and all the other devices that were closed to my PCI ethernet card. Even options for ISA card were chose. And I carefully made sure that they re not chosen as modules, but mainly as static network interfaces. Same old problem. That didnt change anything. I ve read Ethernet How TO, serial How to ..lot of docs(include the excellent Network Toolkit book by Paul G.Sery) But I still need help.
