Greetings, I'm trying to install Debian 2.0 on an old 486dx4/100 with 32 MB of RAM, 2 GB of scsi disk, and a tulip-based PCI ethernet card. This is an Asus SP3g-based machine.
Installing from the base disk set went fine. When the system rebooted after the base install the network was not visible. I noticed that the light on the back of the ethernet card was out. Upon investigating some more I noticed that the light is on when the tulip driver is loaded, and goes out when the first 'ifconfig' is done. Ifconfig returns "SIOCSIFFLAGS: Resource temporarily unavailable". I'm pretty sure the card is not dead because I've tried more than one and I see the same symptoms. Any suggestions appreciated. -- | Charles R. (C. R.)
