netconfig in Slackware 12 does not recognize my active ethernet card
My computer contains two ethernet cards, one of which XP's Network Connections screen describes as "Network cable, unplugged, 3Com EtherLink XL 10/100 PCI TX NIC (3C905B-TX)", the other as "Connected, Firewalled, Intel(R) PRO/100 VE Network Connection"..
Fedora 3 and Ubuntu both recognize the connected card automatically. Slackware 12's netconfig (with DHCP option) does not, and gives the message No carrier detected on eth0 during boot. Is there a way via software, i.e., without removing one of the cards, to fix this? |
In a terminal issue the following commands and post them and the output here:
Code:
lspci | grep -i ethernet |
results
As a near-beginner to Linux, I do not know about VBCode, but was able to write the results of your commands to a floppy.
