Hi,
I have a linux newbie and just installed mandrake
7.1.
I basically need to get my realtek 8029 card up and
running so as to connect to the internet through my cable modem (shaw
@home)
I went into the drak conf and looked at the
hardware installed (i think its called Lothar and I enabled isa
detect).
Under network card I saw that my realtek card was
detected.
However, when i boot up linux, I dont get the
eth 0 [OK]
i dont get anything at all.
I have played around with the network configurator
in the drakconf but to no success.
The best result i seem to have gotten
is eth 0 : delaying
network initialization (or some such thing)
I need to get my ethernet card working in order to
use the internet via the shaw @home cable connect.
Caa someone pls gimme step by step instruction on
what to do. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks again for any help any of u can give
me.
P.S. Can anyone suggest a good linux book for a
newbie to pick up. I hear that "RUNNING LINUX" is awesome for a beginner. Any
comments on tyhis subject matter too would be apprecaited.
Thanks,
demo Nish
