Ethernet Card Dead after a Computer Crash?!
I have no clue what happened, but my plug became loose from my laptop without me knowing and eventually my battery died. Linux crashed because of it, and when I reinserted the plug and restarted my computer, I waited for Linux to check itself and went back to work. However, when I tried to connect to the internet, it said my proxy server wasn't working. I restarted my proxy on my other computer, but still got the same message. Then I rebooted both computers again and still got the same message. So I disconnected my internet and set up my Linux to connect directly to isolate the problem. But the PPP connection would activate and then in seconds become Inactive automatically. I formatted and started from scratch. But I still can't get my ethernet card to work. Before it was the easiest thing to set up >_< Is my card dead because of the crash? Is that possible. I'm sure you can tell, I'm a newbie. I've only been using Linux for about 4 months, and while I prefer it to Windows for programming, I don't know hardware at all, and it's really beginning to piss me off when it does crap like this.
My ethernet card is Laneed thernet PC Card
My OS is RH 8.0
My ethernet was working fine until the computer crash, so I'm assuming that is what caused this.
