I finally got it working. Pinging my ipcop server works as well as google. I compiled everything under tulip family network device support as a module and listed 'tulip' in "/etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6".
'lsmod' shows only tulip listed. I guess that gets me all squared away here. Thanks a lot for all your help. I should document this problem and post it to my website as I was only able to find a lot of scattered info in regards to this card, the tulip driver and my particular problem in Gentoo. Now back to the handbook to finish my install then onto the Gentoo file server wiki...should be fun and hopefully I'll have a nice little secure fileserver when all is finished. -----Original Message----- From: Ryan Tandy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, September 30, 2006 6:22 PM To: gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org Subject: Re: [gentoo-user] Tulip driver problems; eth0 does not exist..."netmount" was not started...

(when in /usr/src/linux) What does "modprobe tulip" return if you run it *immediately* after "make modules && make modules_install" - i.e. without rebooting first? According to Google, your card has the same chipset as mine, so the options I posted should work. If you're still having trouble, I can post the relevant part of my .config. Speaking of chipsets - what does 'lspci' (sys-apps/pciutils) say about the card? Ryan -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list -- No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
