FA311 and RedHat 8.0
hey. I got a FA311 because my last network card didnt work with my redhat 8, and now it wont work.
I goto the internet config screen and select Nat Semi DP83815, and then just click next. but it doesnt work. i dont know much about linux but as all the other linux noobs say, I know my way around windows quite well. The light on the card is off... and when i try to activate it it gives me a error about not being able to. can anyone help? *also when i tried to compile the driver that came with it, it gave me a bunch of errors. |
Fa311 netgear? It should use the tulip default driver if it is a fa311 netgear. I would just stick with 3com it's easier.
|
yeah the netgear.
you're sayin i should buy another card now? O_o |
No.. NO use the Tulip driver for your network card..
|
well ok then :eek:
|
The FA311 card uses the natsemi module which should be already included. try loading the module manually
insmod natsemi |
yeah well i tried that :(
the command isnt recognized by my system for some reson what would i select on that menu thing when installing to install that? i had to go back to install gcc a while ago, which has insmod? |
The 310 uses the tulip and the 312 uses the natsemi. I am not sure about the 311 though. I unfortunatly have both in my RH box.
|
insmod is located in /sbin which usually isn't in the path for a normal user.
