3c501 device eth0 does not seem to be present
Error message:
Bringing up interface eth0 3c501 device eth0 does not seem to be present, delaying initialization FAILED From redhat run lspci -v I get 00:08.0 Ethernet Controller: Galileo Technology Ltd.: Unknow device 4320 (revf 12) Subsystem: SMC, Standard Microsystems Corp: unknown device b452 in etc/modules.conf I see alias eth0 3c501 redhat-config-network 3c501 device eth0 does not seem to be present kernel is 2.4.20-6 I tried copying the sk98lin24.tar.gz file into the top level of my directory and following the instructions but it still didn't work. I hate to say it but I am not sure how to reconfigure the kernel and so on. I'll be reading up my documentation again in the meantime. Heidi |
are you sure that its a 3com card? if lspci is showing a SMC card then its highly unlikely that its a 3com,
what does dmesg show? |
NET4 or divert:
I can't find any reference to eth0 besides these two:
NET4: Frame Diverter 0.46 later NET4: Linux TCP/IP 1.0 for NET4.0 later NET4: Unix domain sockets 1/0SMP for Linux NET4.0. later divert: not allocating divert_blk for non-ethernet device eth0 |
kernel mismatch
I tried getting the latest driver but I got a kernel mismatch
insmod smc94x2.0 (that was the driver) And I got the message that the smc94x2.0 was compiled for kernel version 2.4.2-2 and my kernel is version 2.4.20-6 I have written SMC about their card and their old driver. The card is SMC9452TX Seems to be the problem. Thanks for your help. |
have u tried going to http://www.opendrivers.com/categoryc...11555/SMC.html
for the driver u need :-) |
tried, same one, doesn't work
Hi,
Thanks for helping. It is the same version as I got from SMC. This is what "tech support" at SMC wrote: For your information, as mentioned in the release notes, this adapter only support Kernel versino 2.4.2-2. So, that is my experience with tech support. I suppose I could buy a new ethernet card or NIC, I just want it to connect. |
Well, at least they are not too expensive... u could always try ebay I pick a lot of stuff up there cheaply :-)

ethernet card that works for Red Hat 9
Any recommendations of an ethernet card I can use?
I need an ethernet card that will install on Red Hat 9.0, kernel is 2.4.20-6. |
3com have the best support with rh 3c595 or 3c900 or 3c905 would prob be good choices. U can always check out hardware compatibility on redhats support pages :-)
