hello having trouble installing my 3COm 3c5098 NIC in Red Hat 7.2, It is an older ISA card and Linux can't auto detect it, when I manually set it up it gives me a bug report, anyone succesfully installed one? please inform
Because the Network Device Configurator that is part of (Gnome?) is pants. RedHat is scrambling to find good Open Source GUI tools after they decided to ditch the uber-bugy init-mutilating linuxconf a few releases ago. Ignore it, the card works. You can bring it up and address it with "ifconfig". Also, if you want it to come up right at boot, its easiest to just cheat and put the configuration in /etc/rc.d/rc.local, like:
/sbin/modprobe 3c509 irq=x
/sbin/ifconfig eth1 192.168.x.x (for a static)
once more question, after I do modprobe and set the IRQ it see's eth1 in dmesg, however when I cat /proc/interrupts it's not in there. Also is there a command to run to see just what eth devices are installed?
