Ethernet troubles

lasalsademuerte · 02-24-2003, 01:38 PM

I own a Siemen Speedstream 1020 PCI 10/100 Ethernet Adapter and cannot seem to get it to work in RedHat 8.0. When redhat boots it recognizes that the adapter is installed but it just doesn't work. If anyone could give me a hand with this I would be very grateful. Thanks.

Find out what module (driver) it needs to run then do as root in command line:

modprobe <modulename>

If it doesn't find the module, then you have to download it and install it. Hope this helps.

I thought that may be the problem the only thing is I have no idea where to get the driver as the siemen website only offers windows drivers. If anyone could help me find out where I could get the drivers or drivers that would work in their place it would be greatly appreciated.

In linux they're not drivers, they're modules. And you can look to the Hardware Compatibility How=to at

http://www.linux.org/docs/ldp/howto/...HOWTO/nic.html

to see if your card is supported and what module it uses. Personally I didn't see it anywhere but I only did a quick peek.

Much better list

Neither of those lists mentions his card. Siemens recycled a bunch of regular normal old chipsets through the years, mostly SMC, to find out what the card really is:

/sbin/lspci -v

and post here whatever is listed for ethernet controller.
