Greetings,
I installed a new 3COM Ethernet Card into my Debian Box in preparation
for the install of my cable modem in a week or so, and after recompiling the
kernel (2.2.14) with the correct Ethernet Driver, during bootup the card
does not
seem to be sensed at all, and no eth0 device gets created. I can do a
lspci on the
card, and this is the output, if that is helpful at all.
Any suggestions on how to get this beast working would be
appreiciated. According to
the Ethernet HOWTO if the driver is installed it should automagically
detect the card
and no /dev entry is required, I should just be able to do ifconfig and see
a new
interface called eth0.
Regards,
Todd
