I have a modem and a NIC. The modem is a PCI WinModem (forget brand atm), the NIC is a LinkSys Fast Ethernet 10/100 Network Anywhere, model number NC100U. I know it works as I was able to use it under RedHat. I cannot for the life me figure out what packages to install (other then dhcp, which is installed and running) to try and connect to the net via my router (also a LinkSys product).
that's a first. a winmodem is detected easier then a NIC ..!! wow.
I'd suggest booting redhat and do a 'lsmod' to find out what modules
Eh, unless I install RH again, I can't. ;)
are loaded, the network module will probably be pretty easy to single out. then load that module on the debian side(modprobe module_name). If it works then add the module name to /etc/modules to load it each time the system starts up.
So, I just put "tulip" at the bottom of the list and that's it?
assuming the NIC is supported at all in the stock kernels. from a quick search it may be a tulip based card, so modprobe tulip may make the interface available.
Did that (thanks to another post in this thread, results in my reply to that one)
If you were unable to configure networking during installation then
I thought I had configured it during install.
you may need to configure that as well, a simple setup would be to put the following line in /etc/network/interfaces :
iface eth0 inet dhcp
then run /etc/init.d/networking restart
good luck
added the above, ran above. Output:
Reconfiguring network interfaces: done
So, I ran (from /etc/init.d/) #./networking stop Reconfiguring network interfaces: done #./networking start Setting up IP spoofing protection: rp_filter. Configuring network interfaces: done.
Then I ran #ifconfig lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 UP LOOPBACK Running MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:612 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:612 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisons:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:42996 (41.9KiB) TX bytes:42996 (41.9 KiB)
I then ran #ping www.hotmail.com ping: unknown host www.hotmail.com
I'm reading ftp://ftp.scyld.com/pub/network/tulip.c right now.
