Hi all,
I hope this is the right list. I am a linux novice and trying to
build a firewall. I am using redhat 6.0. I have two nics, one is a mx
chipset which linux detects and uses a tulip driver, the other is an
RTL8139B chipset which linux finds just fine. At bootup the mx nic is
brought up as eth0 and works fine. this is the nic connected to the
internet. My problem occurs when I attempt to bring up eth1 using ifconfig.
When I do this I get the following error message: "eth1 Couldn't allocate a
65536 byte receive ring. SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot allocate memory." This
machine has a P133 w/ 16 Mbs of memory and a very minimal installation (ie.
no X windows). If I do "ifconfig -a" I can see eth0 and eth1 (as well as
lo). I don't know if this is a memory problem or if this is problem w/ the
card itself or perhaps I have not configured something correctly. Please
let me know if more info is needed. Thank you in advance for any assistance
that can be provided.
Sincerely,
Keith Lehigh
