Hi Linux gurus! I've successfully installed slackware linux 10 into our HP PC, I configured the network during the setup and made it DHCP. Now the problem is when I configured its network on the shell with "ifconfig eth0 <ipaddress>... netmask 255.255.255.0" i got an error that says: "eth0: error fetching interface information: Device not found"
The ethernet card of my PC is not in the PCI-interface, and it is built-in to the motherboard.
Please help me configuring my network card and Linux machine's IP configuration...
By the way I'm using slackware 10 and kernel 2.4.26 ... is it still compatible with this bcm 4400 3.0.7-1 version that I downloaded from you the site that u gave me???
hi judge neo and bathory! well i guess ive completed installing the driver by doing the following:
--------------
The following are general guidelines for installing the driver. Refer to
DISTRIB.TXT for additional installation notes for various Linux distributions.
1. Create a directory and extract the files:
tar xvzf bcm4400-<version>.tar.gz
2. Build the driver bcm4400.o as a loadable module for the running kernel:
cd src
make
3. Test the driver by loading it:
insmod bcm4400.o
4. Install the driver and man page:
make install
See RPM instructions above for the location of the installed driver.
5. To configure network protocol and address, refer to various Linux
documentations.
