The "initializing DSL" line is something that Red Hat throws out during that whole boot sequence, not something that I did. And I have a static IP address, really handy, unless you can't get it to work.... One other weird thing, and I'm not sure this matters at all..... Red Hat has a program called Internet Configuration.... in there is an option to set up a DSL line, but it requires a password and a user ID, neither of which does my ISP provide or require....Not sure if that has any effect, but I guess it's possible....

Hey
Why dont you just go to

http://www.scyld.com/network/updates.html

and get the RPM no need to recompile anything just download and run

Ow by the way the file name is -- netdriver-2.1-2.i386.rpm

I had rh 6.1 which works great with the LNE100TX, I now have rh 7.1 and it works also. I have three in my box now.

I followed the instructions that came with the card, on the floppy.


You have to insmod or modprobe pcscan.o before tulip.o

it also says to do depmod -a


If you get no errors then it is probably ok and needs to be configured for the right network settings. Or else it will complain.

Copying both files is for it to load on boot, the modules should go in


/lib/modules/2.4.2-2/kernel/drivers/net/tulip/tulip.o
/lib/modules/2.4.2-2/kernel/drivers/net/tulip/pcscan.o

or in my case

/lib/modules/2.4.2-2enterprise/kernel/drivers/net/tulip/tulip.o
/lib/modules/2.4.2-2enterprise/kernel/drivers/net/tulip/pcscan.o

or somewhere in the kernel folder.

depends on your kernel

but look in /lib/modules/ and see.
