Re: [newbie] Ethernet card will not come up during boot process
What is your model number for your 3com eth card? What distribution of linux are you running? (caldara, RedHat, Mandrake, Etc) and what version? I have a 3c574tx PCMCIA 3com card in my laptop. I am running Redhat 6.2 and is working fine now. Let me know so I can try to help. On Wed, 25 Oct 2000, you wrote: Hi all, I have a 3com Ethernet card on a dell 5000e laptop. I got the card configured correctly (or so I think) because I can get to the net and everything in my network. However when I first boot into Linux it fails to bring up eth0. Once the system is up all I do is type in ifup eth0 and I am back working. Any suggestions? Thomas Stewart Iowa Network Services 515 830-0661 _ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: [newbie] Networking setup for PCMCIA on laptop
try this site for uswest and cisco 675 http://www.users.qwest.net/~aqondor/ step by step on how to config the cisco to uswest dsl. very cool and helpful. I have verizon (gte). I'm not so lucky to have a site available to me. www.modemspeedtest.com is a good site to test your broadband speed. Hope this helps. On Mon, 23 Oct 2000, you wrote: More on my problem.

I just recently got my other big redhat system up on the net using my previous router (external Fujitsu SpeedPort) Unlike the Cisco, you cannot telnet into this router. it's all done automatically internally.

Re: [newbie] FAT partitions
Try reburning you copy again... I've had that problem once before. the next time i installed it worked fine. also, first you might want to grab a disk manager. use it to delete that partition. i.e. maxblast, ontrac, or western digital, fujitsu. if that dont cure it, then reburn. Xavier Chitnis wrote: Hi, I am attempting my first installation of Mandrake 7.1 and have hit a problem. I burned the ISO files to CD, and boot from the installation CD. I am asked to select my language etc. However, when I get to the disk partition stage, it says my partition table is too corrupted to be read. If I select Automatic partitioning, it doesn't seem to realise there is a FAT partition that needs to be resized. I have run disk defragmenter and scandisk prior to attempting installation. I am trying to install onto a PC with Windows 98SE, and it is a 10Gb hard drive. Would I be better to try to resize the partition using something like fips (not that I've ever used it...)?

Re: [newbie] cable modem by pc card not be recognized by linuxconf
Hmmm. I had that simular problem with my 3com nic in my laptop. What those beeps signify is Linux is detecting your card services and the card services is reporting there is cards physically present. ( simular to the WIN9X bootup sequence.) You are going to need to locate a compatible kernel module. Is this device a modem, eth, or some other form of device? eth meaning nic or network device. I'm running ADSL connected via nic. I had to use the tulip module for my 3c574tx PCMCIA in Redhat 6.2. The tulip kernel module is not compatible with my card in mandrake 7.1. My isp is running DHCP protocols too. You still have to get the drivers up and running first then enter in the correct servers. (domain search path, hostnames, nameservers, etc) until the system will even start to look at the internet. Once you have your drivers activated and functioning, use netconfig from the prompt (not from xwindows) and engage the tell Linux it's a DHCP you are looking for. by checking "DHCP, BOOTP" if everything is correct, your network will fire right up. Also, in my case, when I know my nic has been activated - I look at my laptop's LCD status screen... the PCMCIA display "pulses" I am also running my network here (6 system network) at 100 MBS. That might have something to do with the pulsing. who knows. Hope this helps a little. If all else fails, goto the manufacture of the cable modem and see if there is a driver. if not, go here: http://linux-directory.com/ they might not have what you are looking for off the bat but it's at least a start.
