Hope that subject line is clear: I'm increasingly aware that the greatest poportion of good technical documentation on Debian is on list archives but that needs us all to be explicit...
Has anyone got a VIA EPIA-CL mini-ITX motherboard working with its LAN on motherboard (LOM) VT6105 controller presenting one or both of the ethernet ports for use? I've tried and I'm failing and would hugely appreciate help. More technical detail below. TIA, Chris Motherboard is described at: http://www.viavpsd.com/product/epia_cl_spec.jsp?motherboardId=181 says: chipset is - VIA CLE266 North Bridge and - VIA VT8235 South Bridge and: - VIA VT6105 LOM - VT6103 10/100 Base -T 10/100 Fast Ethernet Controller. CPU is detected as "Centaur VIA Nehemiah stepping 03" Installing the supplied rhine driver module at installation fails with an error message that I've not written down but it's clear it's not a compatible driver for the hardware. I have installed a Sitecom rtl 8139too based PCI card (with some difficulty as the 2.4.* kernel install I'd selected didn't seem to offer this: a change from 2.2.*?) and that's working fine now so not just about me misunderstanding module installs. I have dragged down the LAN driver on the VIA site: http://www.viavpsd.com/product/2/2/Audio_Driver_rev3.40b.zip unzipped it, gone to LINUX directory, unzipped etc. the rhinefet module source there and tried to compile it but here I'm going beyond my competence: the Makefile clearly expects the kernel source to be laid our rather differently from the way it actually is and I'm not beyond my sphere of competence. Has someone succeeded in compiling a working module I could just use or can someone talk me through more of the problems? Or point me elsewhere? Or suggest a more appropriate list or board on which to ask? PSYCTC: Psychotherapy, Psychology, Psychiatry, Counselling and Therapeutic Communities; practice, research, teaching and consultancy.
