Does anyone know what it means when a network card is "hard strapped"????
When I
insmod ewrk3
I get the following:
eth0: DE204-AB at 0x200, h/w address 08:00:2b:97:c6:7e,
is hard strapped.
Does anyone know what this means???? I have searched the Ethernet howto, but
is says nothing about this. It just tells me that I am infact using the right
driver for my DE204 which is the ewrk3.o
The output seems to indicate that it finds the network card ok. However, when
I give:
ifconfig eth0 10.0.0.1
I get:
eth0: ewrk3 available for hard strapped set up only.
Run the 'ewrk3setup' utility or remove the hard straps.
Now, I have tried to follow the instructions given by the output, but I can't
seem to find the ewrk3setup utility anywhere. Anyway, it seems weird that I
have to run a utility to get this card up and running. All the other ethernet
cards I have dealt with seem to have no problem with the procedure I am using.
Could someone tell me what's going on here, and perhaps point me to the
ewrk3setup utility if it is really necassary.
Thanks.
