I have a network set up (one other machine) and have now decided to go to cable for Internet access (phone service here is painfully slow, and won't be going to DSL within the next decade). I installed another card (rtl8139), which the BIOS recognises, but the kernel does not.
The Ethernet and Boot HOW-TOs both prescribe including the following in lilo.conf, to force the kernel to search for the second card: ether=0,0,eth1 or ether=12,0x320,eth1 ether=10,0x300,eth0 When I do this, and run lilo, it tells me I have a syntax error (in both cases), and will not process anything past the offending entry. What am I doing wrong, and what do I do to correct it, please? Just for the record, ifconfig eth1 gets a "device cannot be found" response. TIA Cam
