If you are messing with PXE and Linux, you
may find this link useful: http://ltsp.org/documentation/pxe.howto.html Most distros, these days, automatically
pick up on the hardware’s need for drivers and loads the module you need without
you putting a thought to it. If not, that’s what the modprobe program is
for. JSR/ From: UM Linux User's
Group [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On
Behalf Of K. Mike Bradley Hello list, I am new to Linux and with all my
searching, I can't seem to get an understanding of NIC drivers in Linux. Obviously in this day and age most Linux
installations need a NIC. (I mean ... how many Linux boxes would
never be used to talk on the net???) I understand about modules and how drivers
can be modules or compiled into the kernel. What I don't understand is what to do if I
need to get a driver for a NIC because it is not recognized. I know what to do in Windows when a NIC is
not up due to no driver, but not in Linux. How does the many Distros of Linux support
so many NIC's? I heard about this Tulip driver which does
allot of NIC's. How do you tell what modules do what
NIC's? I have an application where I need to
compile into the Kernel every possible NIC driver so I can do PXE boot of any
hardware we might use. (we have a wide range of new and old PC's
). Any help would be appreciated. |
