Dear All,
As this is my first post it will be a little long (sorry) so I've organised it into 3 parts... me & why, the questions & the full dxdiag file (which was taken before i fdisk'd the hd) of the hardware being used.
Thanks.
Part 1. I've been in IT for over 10 years. Having worked mostly on Microsoft systems (NT4.0 - Win3003) as a senior engineer. I was introduced to Solaris 10 4 years ago but have let my skills drop until recently. I was made redundant in April & discovering that everyone (in my field) now required win2008 server experience i have decided to revisit my Unix past & hopefully move across from windows.
I have recently completed building a Red hat box using redhat V5.2 (Apollo). why you might ask? well i had two big reference books available to me (Solaris 10 & Red hat unleashed). sadly i could get my box to load Solaris 10 so I've used the red hat version available on the cd with the book. Plus my hardware is very old & being unemployed doesn't give you any financial choices...
Questions... After going through the very research intensive setup!!!! i've now got a working machine with XF86 as my window manager. however i have no working network card. I have discovered that the drivers for my card E100 are available on the kernal version 2.4 (i'm on 2.0) & having tried both rpm & tar\make neither worked. when i ran make i got lots of errors & they are arn't in
/lib/modules/2.0.36-0.7/net/ ... where all the others are. So what do you gurus recommend?
1. Do i upgrade the rpm first & to which version if so.
2. Do i upgrade the kernal first & to which version etc...
3. Is there a standard 'driver' i could try first?
4. Will any of this mean reconfiguring my xwin setup?
in an ideal world you would suggest driverxxx the full list i've got are found at
http://www.n8zfm.com/module/Module-HOWTO-7.html ... i haven't tried any yet!
Sorry for the long post. my full dxdig of the hardware is below. please advise as you see fit.
