NIC Card Driver Problem ....

yasir_kh · 05-09-2001, 06:35 AM

Hi all,

Could anyone please send me or let me know the location for the NIC card driver for RedHat 6.2.

My NIC Card is "3c905B-TX" . At the time of installation linux picks 3c59x automatically.... but it does not work.

I'd been on 3Com site to get the proper driver for linux, but the driver I found there was for Linux 5.2 or 6.0. That driver didn't work for my 6.2 box....

Could anyone Please solve my problem... Please reply me on my email "yasir@consultant.com" too.

Regards,

Yasir.

You need to rebuild your kernel with support for that card, or load the relevant module for it (try 'modprobe 3c59x'). The code itself (driver) will already by there.

Have a look at the following HOWTOs for kernel and network setup details...
