// Please reply to all ... Hello people and experts :-)
Some issues while trying to get an it-is-all-on the motherboard solution to work with linux. The board in question is an Abit AT7 MAX (not a MAX2) wich uses the KT333 chipset together with some Realtek-chips to make an all-in solution. The Realtek-NiC is a typical RTL8139C chip(set) wich works great, contrary to what i expected. And a ALC650-soundchip(set) wich is not working at all (yet) though i found a linux driver on the realtek website. My first issue is that after recompiling the latest 2.4.19-kernel the NiC does work but i cannot obtain a DHCP lease anymore, despite all my efforts with ifconfig, dhclient, ifup, ifdown ... it's imposible to get a DHCP lease. Any suggestions here ? Second, the ALC650, pretty nice chip but it's not supported-from-scratch in any linux kernel yet. I'm currently attempting to get the realtek-supported driver to work but this isn't running all to smoothly. Any suggestions, hints, support would be welcome. I'm especially anxious to get the network/NiC issue out of the way since this is a really big issue when you're facing information-age-hysteria like i do ... And thus are in need for daily internet-walkabouts. Finally, i'd like to ask if someone has a fully compiled kernel for the Abit AT7 Max motherboard that runs out of the box. The makefile to build a kernel with your specs would come in handy as well :-) Salutations, Joris -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
