I think that the card is auto detected because "pnpdump" detected it and by checking
"dmesg"
I am using a 3com Ethernet III ISA - 3C509....
Even the loopback and of course my ethernet is being ignored by route, still the
message " SIOCADDRT : No such device., appears..... even after starting ifconfig (lo
and eth0). Ifconfig in the other hand seems fine, it displays the loopback and eth0.
The device also is automatically probed upon startup (by "modprobe"). I am using
Slackware 7.0... Where can i find the reference for the error returns, such as
SIOCADDRT?
PLS. HELP.. huhuhhuuhuhuhuhu
