No internet access with my homepna card
I have an AMD PCNet 79C978 HomePna card. The card does not connect to Internet with the new kernel 2.6 Linux-distributions such as Ubuntu (warty), but I had no problems with Debian woody and the old 2.4 kernel. I use DHCP.
I managed to solve the problem for Fedora Core 3 (2.6 kernel).
I just added this line to /etc/modprobe.conf “options eth0 homepna=1” then run “depmod -a” and rebooted.
Now I want to ask you here on Linux Question org. because I did not get an answer from the official Ubuntu forum, can I do something similar in Ubuntu. I need some advice because the files in Ubuntu are quit different compared to Fedora but equal to Debian.
The driver (=module?) I suppose is there somewhere in the system, but how to make it active?
