[newbie] PCI Ethernet card problems
I have a 3COM 3C900. It is recognized and configured when I put it in. It refuses to work. I cannot even set up a local address and ping it. 192.168.0.2 255.255.255.0 And when I say to make the changes in Drak Conf it gets an error and says it failed to initialize the card. My Realtek and LinkSys cards work just fine. Well that is the LinKSys works fine on 192.168.0.2 but not on the cable modem. Very Strange. The only card that worked in both places is the RealTek card. Any Ideas? -- Gil Baron W0MN http://members.home.net/gbaron/ 44:04:55.9 N 92:30:46.206 W 1050' NAD27 "Hierro candente, batir de repente"

Hi Gil Are you using the correct module? See http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/demos/Networking/NetBasics/pages/ there is a list of network cards and modules, with configuration: http://www.redhat.com/support/hardware/intel/61/rh6.1-hcl-i.ld-11.html Bye james bond non-registered linux user nr 007 From: "Gil Baron W0MN" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: "AA/MandrakeNewbie" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [newbie] PCI Ethernet card problems Date: Tue, 18 Jul 2000 16:26:12 -0500 I have a 3COM 3C900.

RE: [newbie] PCI Ethernet card problems
That was the problem. I took the one that was automatically chosen and it does not work with that card. I change it and now it will ping both ways so other problems are probably of my own fault. I can't get the proxy to work yet as it did on the other card. I will keep plugging. Thanks for the help. Oh yes, the module it needs is 3c59x -Original Message- From: Pedro _ [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, July 18, 2000 6:33 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] PCI Ethernet card problems Hi Gil Are you using the correct module?

I have got some problems regarding the network installation, because I am not able to recognize my PCI ethernet card, type Davicom 9102 Fast Ethernet. It is not on the list supplied by the linuxconf. What should I do in this case? Regards! Gilmar.

Re: [newbie] PCI Ethernet Card
I don't know what chip the card uses, but I have found the driver, written in C. I think the only way is trying to compile this driver and see what happens... - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, October 27, 1999 11:48 AM Subject: Re: [newbie] PCI Ethernet Card From: Ronald A.
