Hello all. I have a problem with getting my ethernet card to work.
I have a double partitioned machine Windows XP and RedHat 9.0. On my windows partition cable modem connects flawlessly to the computer and everything works well. On my Linux partition i get an error during bootup, were eth0 fails. I've tried a X program, neat without much luck. How do I go about fixing it??
according ethernet-howto sis900 has been supported for a while -- since kernel version 2.2. I also must mention that when i had a
Mandrake 9.2 running on this machine it had no problem resolving the ethernet card and connecting me to internet.
Can somebody tell me where to start. I'd like to avoid recompiling
kernel modules since i don't know what I'm doing.
I have a similar problem. Also using Redhat 9 and have a sis900 embedded LAN. The sis appears to be working fine, and I've tried everything that I found on various forums regarding this.
I can enable the eth0 connection, which supposedly patches me into a splitter. I've set the connection with all the same options that work on my XP partition. When I try to set up ppoe though, it fails to initialise.
Also, when I try to run a test on the eth0, or maybe limit its speed to 10 Mb, I get an answer that it can't find the device. Any ideas?
i have the same problem which i've posted about but within mandrake 9.2 RC2. i've also tried using the National Semiconductor NIC that i have in my other pc running XP and that also failed to connect to my router (using DHCP) using the natsemi driver. maybe it's not the driver but some other configurations i don't have setup correctly
