Not quite sure what you mean by that could you be a little clearer what you require. I was directing you to
http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/lin...08.2/0272.html item in the list provided by the google search which appears to say that your card uses the
tulip module as the driver for the network card. When you use the
lsmod command you should see output like this.
Code:
>$ lsmod

You can see here that my card also uses the tulip module and is in use. The output of the
ifconfig -a looks like this when configured.
Code:
>$ su

[HappyTux:/home/stephen]# ifconfig -a

The configuration of the network card is done through the /etc/network/interfaces file my file for example.
Code:
[HappyTux:/home/stephen]# cat /etc/network/interfaces
# /etc/network/interfaces -- configuration file for ifup(8), ifdown(8)
# The loopback interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# The first network card - this entry was created during the Debian installation
# (network, broadcast and gateway are optional)
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.0.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.0.0
broadcast 192.168.0.255
gateway 192.168.0.254
My file here is using static settings which means that I use a set IP for the address. It can look like this if you use DHCP to get your address from a server on the network.
Code:
[HappyTux:/home/stephen]# cat /etc/network/interfaces
# /etc/network/interfaces -- configuration file for ifup(8), ifdown(8)
# The loopback interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# The first network card - this entry was created during the Debian installation
# (network, broadcast and gateway are optional)
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
We are going to need the information I requested above to see these things in order to be able to help you and you will need to provide some details on how you get your connection to the internet from your Internet Service Provider and what steps you need to know about to enable you to connect.
