I replied to this before, but must have got lost in the ether... On the accton website (somewhere) you can download the kernel module. It is listed as a linux driver, and comes as a zip file 1207dlinux.zip. Within that zip archive are three files:
en1207d.c Source code for the kernel module en1207d.o The kernel module Linux.txt Instructions for installing the module. I followed the basic instructions in the Linux.txt file for installing the kernel module, and was then able to ping the internal network... (I'm running the bog standard Slink kernel, YMMV) NB: The method described of inserting the module will only work until the next reboot. To make more permanent arrangements, you will need to look into update-modules (I didn't get around to that step, myself, I was just happy to see the card finally working) PS: If you want me to send you the zip file, let me know .. I have a copy here on my PC at work .. its only about 60K - Chris Kenrick -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, 30 July 2000 2:04 AM To: debian-user@lists.debian.org Subject: Cheetah PCI NIC Hi all, I do believe that this subject has been touched upon before. I was wondering if there is someone out there who has used a Cheetah PCI NIC from Accton. I have installed it but do not know which module to use. I actually tried the NE2000 module I believe (not the PCI version for some reason or other) and Debian is able to see it but I can't seem to do anything with it. Should I have used something else? Also, as I am quite new to Linux,is there someone out there able to tell me how to go about changing the info to let debian know that the NIC has changed. The last few times, I just basically re-installed debian. I know this is not the proper way but I couldn't find any documentation on how to change this info. Anywone able to help? Allen
