Mandrake 9.1 and Linksys Etherfast 10/100


I'm running 9.1. I have a Linksys Etherfast card that mandrake recognizes, but won't go onto the internet with. The last time I installed mandrake (about 6 months ago) it recognized the card just fine and I didn't have to do anything. What's different this time? Could the card be knocked loose or something?

Question

How do you connect to the internet?
Is it directly via a cable / adsl modem or is it via a LAN ?

Is an IP address being assigned to your computer?

In case you are connecting to the internet via some kind of a network, are you able to ping your switch or router ?

Are you able to 'see' or 'ping' other machines on the same network?

Have you upgraded your kernel recently?

Worked for me...

This problem has been my main problem when I decided to go Linux. I ended up solving it by passing a boot option : noapic

You can make that from the Control Center in the Boot section

Tell us if it worked.

I don't see anywhere to pass that option. I logged in as root, and the only options I get in the boot area are what user I want to autologin as or if I want to make a boot floppy.

I'm connecting via a LAN

No IP address is being assigned.

I don't know how to ping my hub. It's not a router, it's a hub. It has no firewall or anything like that.

I can't see any other machines.

I haven't upgraded my kernel because I can't get on the internet!

Do an update of your system. Boot from the CD, and press (I think it's) <F1> to boot "manually". Boot "linux noapic" and perform the update. After that in the boot cinfiguration of your control center you will have the option of forcing "noapic".

I have Linux Mandrake 9.1 running on an IBM Thinkpad 560Z. I need to install my Linksys Etherfast 10/100 PCMCIA Notebook Adapter. I get no signal lights and it doesn't show up in HardDrake.

I have a Microsoft MN-520 Wireless PCMCIA Notebook Adapter that isn't recognized either.

Please help! I can't get on the internet with this machine.
