I installed Debian on an old IBM Intel PII machine and added a TrendNet TE100-PCIWN PCI ethernet card. It was recognized immediately and everything worked fine (disregarding video card problems, but that will come in a later message). Then I wanted to recompile the kernel to 2.6.5 and did so following all the procedure which took a long time :).
After I restarted the machine I got in 2.6.5 fine but my eth0 was not working. One problem was the dhclient which was not found and I went to /etc/dhclient and rewrote the script file to accept 2.6.5.
But the eth0 was still not working. So I reverted to static IP and still nothing.
I get a message SIOCSIFADDR: No such device: eth0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
lspci -v states Ethernet controller... Realtek...RTL8139
lsmod gives nothing
I also get some messages during boot such as Function not implemented.
I also got Function not implemented when I tried depmod -a
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am just starting with Linux so I am not sure how to get log files and insert them. I would also have a problem getting them since I can't connect to the network to retrieve them.
