I haven't received any replies to my request for assistance, so I tried
taking the NIC out, waving a dead chicken over it, and clicking my heels
together three times while chanting "There's no OS like Linux", but it just
locked my computer... Should I maybe have tried a live chicken?
I'm a newbie, so ANY advise on this problem is VERY VERY much appreciated...
On Wednesday, September 20, 2000 Rachel Collins begged for help thusly:
# I recently purchased a Sony PCG-SR7K Laptop and a D-Link
# DFE-650 Network
# card. I've managed to get all the basic stuff working, with
# the exception of
# the network card. Can anyone point me to the right how-to or offer a
# suggestion? Details are as follows:
#
#
# System:
# Laptop: Sony PCG-SR7K
# Network card: D-Link DFE-650
# Linux kernel version: 2.2.16-3
# Redhat version: 6.2
#
#
# What I've tried:
# --I 'think' I have the latest version of cardservices running
# - version
# 3.1.8. I found in the Hardware Compatibility How-to that
# pcnet_cs.o supports
# the DFE-650 card.
# --'cat /proc/ioports' shows pcnet_cs at 0300-031f
# --'cat /proc/interrupts' does not list eth0 anywhere.
# --Modified /etc/pcmcia/config.opts to exlcude irqs 5,9
# (already excluded
# 3,4,7,12)
# --Modified /etc/pcmcia/config to remove irq 7 from the list
# of irqs for
# pcnet_cs
# --I recently turned PnP off in the BIOS to get my sound card
# working. It
# doesn't seem to have had any effect on the network card.
# --It was detecting the card as a KTI ETHER-C16 Fast ethernet.
# I commented
# out this option in /etc/pcmcia/config and it started detecting it as a
# DFE-650, but no other improvements.
# --I read the Ethernet How-to (and various man pages that it
# led me to), the
# networking-overview how-to, a couple other how-to's I've
# probably forgotten
# to mention, and every man page I could think of.
#
#
# Questions:
# --I don't have anything in my /etc/conf.modules file about my
# ethernet card.
# Should I?
# --The network dongle (you know, the adapter thingie that
# connects the card
# to the network cable) has three lights on it (10/100,
# Half/Full, Ln/Act).
# When I plug into a 10 Mb hub, the appropriate lights come on
# (still doesn't
# work), but when I plug into a 100 Mb hub, they all just flash. Is it
# possible that it is failing because it can't detect whether
# the card is 10
# or 100?
# --I don't think protocol is my problem, but I noticed in the
# course of my
# travels that there's an IPv6, and I appear to have IPv4.
# Should I get the
# newer version?
#
#
# 'ifconfig' only shows the local loopback, but 'ifconfig eth0' shows:
# eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:50:BA:73:89:A7
# BROADCAST MTU:1500 Metric:1

# TX packets:0 errors:2 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
# collisions:0 txqueuelen:100
