USB Ethernet Adapter
dear all,
Recently I purchased a usb ethernet adapter for my laptop running RHEL4 WS. My harware browser shows it as "ADMtek, Inc. ADM8511 Pegasus II Ethernet". Now whenever the system does a dhcp query it is getting an ipv6 address rather than the ipv4 I used to get with my old ethernet card. I am not sure where the problem is a) is there something wrong with the device driver I am using ? I think the pegasus driver is coming along with the kernel there was another c file in the cd which the vendor gave but it gave some compilation errors b) Should I disable the ipv6 from my kernel? how can I do it. How can I tell my dhcp server to give me only ipv4 address ? c) How can I make my new usb ethernet adapter work ? :-( thanks in advance for all your answers |
nope, some interface cards don't support ipv6 numbers, so the isp only gives them ipv4 numbers.
your new card supports v6 so it gets a v6 number. :) |
