I have a weird ethernet problem. I'm trying to do a netinst of Woody on this other machine I have, but it absolutely won't find the network. I know this machine has a Netgear card in it, and tulip is the module to use for that, so I loaded that during the appropriate step in the installation, but it can't get any DHCP info. I switched over to the messages console and I saw a lot of "Network down" errors there.
Of course I tried configuring the interface myself, through the installer, and I had the same problem. So I tried booting the machine from my Knoppix CD (how does everyone feel about Knoppix?). Sure enough, Knoppix got EVERYTHING working, so I popped into a Konsole and did an ifconfig. The network interface was called eth1... How does that happen? I thought the first one was 0. I did an lsmod, also, to make sure about my driver selection and sure enough, tulip was loaded and being used. Okay, I figured, maybe there's something strange here I don't understand, so I went back to the netinst installer and tried bringing up eth1 myself, but it said the device doesn't exist. Two questions: 1. Has anyone had this sort of problem and know what I could do? and 2. What other things should I do in the working Knoppix system to figure out how to get it to work in the installer? A netinst is kind of hard without the network ;-) Thanks! -- Aaron Bieber - Graphic Design // Web Design http://www.core-dev.com/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
