i want to get online with suse 9.1 personal but my ethernet card is'nt working.


Ok, I can’t get my Ethernet card to work on SuSE 91 personal kernel 2.6.4-52. I want to do an update to 9.1 pro via ftp but I can’t get my computer online to do it. I have a Realtek RLT8019 using NE2000 driver. I originally tried to do it through a manual install of suse. But when I loaded my card it asked me for the parameters for ne. The example it gave was io=0x300. I have all the jumpers set to jumper less. Now I want to just try to get online with the thing and then maybe I can do the update later. I’m using Comcast cable net with a Motorola modem. If all this can be done outside of the terminal using YaST2 I would prefer that rout but I am willing to let the terminal. Let me no if you need anymore data. I really am a novice at all of this so please be specific and I‘ll do my best to understand. Thank you.

This is what lspci gave me:

ojasom; on that long list is a mention of acpi interpreter is disabled, acpi tables contain no pci irq routing entries
pci invalid acpi-pci irq routing table then toward the end of list u have
address read/write mismaps 0 thru 5 three times do not know what that is
but mis is not a good meaning. check those out!

I don't know what any of this means, or how to fix it. it looks like it's loading my ethernet card and then it's fails to make a connection. but that's just my guess. i don't know why it's not working; my only guess is that my parameters are incorrect, my driver is wrong, or my server info is wrong. or maybe i am wrong altogether and i just can't connect because comcast cable doesn't support linux; although i have heard that it can work.

ojasom; that maybe where problem is, suggest using either ethernet or modem. that is what shows on ur output. both cards in conflict over irq`s.
use which ever is easiest to configure, than after u become more knowledgeable with linux u`ll know howto mount the ethernet card along with modem, if that is what u wish. undo what u have upto this point & just
mount modem.
