Hello all!

I am running RedHat 7.0 on a AST Ascentia J10 Laptop... (That is a whole story in itself, But I say that for another time...) I am now trying to get my Linksys 10/100 PCMCIA card to be recognized...

Q1. What is Tulip and how do I get it installed correctly? I seem to have two versions on my machine tulip.o and tulip_cb.o

Q2. I have found the newest tulip.c version on the web and have a copy. Do I need to compile this to a .o version? if so, what compiler am I to use? F90? C?

Any help would be appreciated....

Well, I tried installing the tulip driver for my system when I had RH 7.0 and had not much luck, never even got it to work. I am not sure if it is something within 7.0 or what but RH 6.2 detects it, installs it and works great everytime.
You can try to compile the new one that you copied. Let me know if you get it working. You can use any compiler, just not gcc.

I can not get the thing to compile with any Compiler... even gcc and I follow the istructions to a "T". I think that I will just go up on the roof and jump off.

q1. Is there an rpm that has all of the required files for a tulip compile out there somewhere?

I had the same problem, and many of the people I requested help from on zdnet forum also had the same problem although the moderator got his to work problem free. It automatically configured and everything for him. For me, even after recompiling, it never worked.
What some did, including myself, is returned the linksys and picked up the dlink (530tx I believe). It has worked for me and the others that told me they used it. It uses the via rhine driver.
I think the advertising that linksys works with linux is misleading because so many have had problems with it.

By the way, I've been using it with Mandrake 7.1 so RH7 may work differently although I would guess it would work.

Well like I said earlier, it works great with any distro I have ever installed besides Redhat 7.0. Who knows, maybe we should report the problem to linksys, and they could get started on a driver for 7.0.

I am going to work on it till Saturday evening... If still no luck the card is going back and I will get the D-link card...

Thanks for all the help.
