Folks, I'm finding it impossible to get networking functional on the box I've just installed 2.2r2 on. This is not an exotic setup, and I've successfully installed several other distros on it at one time or another, but the Debian install has been a complete wash. Why does my NetGear

james, the tulip driver is problematic. we've had cards at our installfests that required the tulip.c driver from the 2.4.* kernels. can you ping the card's IP? what does /var/log/messages say? why don't you recompile the kernel and turn off Lite-On 82c168 PNIC. compile it as a module or

Nope, it's a PCI card. It's getting configured at IRQ 9, and looking at /proc/pci and /proc/interrupts it's clear there are no IRQ conflicts. On Sun, 25 Feb 2001, MaD dUCK wrote: it doesn't happen to be an ISA card, does it? i.e. do you have to worry about IRQ's ? if so, you need to
