Hello,

I got this sticky problem, that after surfing these forums for a few days have come up dry, so i come to the community for help

Alright, Under the 2.4.22 Kernel i do a ifconfig -a and it tells me there is an eth0 and an eth1 , however, under the new 2.6.0 kernel which i compiled it does not show eth1, wich is the ethernet port when i have my Dell Inspiron 5000 pluged into the port replicator.
I am pretty much new to Linux, but eger to learn so Thanks in advance for any help


Thanks,

Coollink

Go back into menuconfig and make sure you enable support for both nic's into the kernel. What does 'ifconfig -a' show, if it shows both devices then you may just need to add them to your /etc/rc.conf file.

The Kernel 2.4.22 works just fine...but the 2.6 does not however. One thing i noticed today during the 2.6 boot is says something about Intel PCIC module not found...but im not sure if that is the exact clause. Is there any way i can get a dump of the boot up to post that here?

Another thing to note is that the only way i have an ethernet card is threw my port replicator. the laptop itself does not have one. I dont know if this is of any importance but i just thought i'd post it. Also, the card under windows is intel 8255x Based PCI
