Hi all,
I installed Mandrake Linux 5.3 (Kernel 2.0.36) for the first time a
couple weeks ago and have been using it problem free. But I recently
installed the RPM's for the Kernel 2.2.3-ac4 upgrade using kpackage,
updated the lilo.conf file, and the new kernel booted just fine, except
that my ethernet card has stopped working. The "using DHCP for eth0"
line (or words to that effect) found during the boot process now says
"Failed" after a few seconds. It's a PCI card, 3Com 3C900-TPO. When I
upgraded I installed all the RPM's available on the FTP site, including
the DHCP update, and as far as I can tell they all installed with no
problem.
When I did the initial installation of Linux the ethernet card worked
without any setup needed, so I have no idea where to go from here. Any
help would be greatly appreciated, Linux is practically worthless to me
if I can't get the ethernet card to work again. Thanks.
Howard
