eth0 problems
Okay, so the other day i was trying to get ndiswrapper working for my Dell Truemobile 1300 wireless card, and after quite a while, i finally was able to get it to recognize that i do have a wireless card (i dont remember exactly what i did) but i couldnt get on any websites, it would merely recognize the speed and name of the network, but nothing more.
So, getting frustrated i messed with settings i probably shouldnt have (my name says it all i hope) and now it tells me that there is no such device as ndiswrapper, and i'm using a friends computer to write this, because i somehow managed to disable my ethernet as well. To be honest, i dont have a clue what i did, and ive been doing most everything through the GUI, using both KWiFiManager, and "Network Device Control" (is that a KDE thing, or GNOME? Ive been consistantly using KDE, but have GNOME as well) I would love to give more information, but alas, i dont even know what would be good to tell you! my machine is as such: Fedora 3 on a Dell Inspiron 5100 Pentium 4 2.66 256 DDR RAM (yeah, i know...) Broadcom Corporation BCM4401 100Base-T Dell Truemobile 1300 (with ndiswrapper) Thanks for checking out my problem :D |
Okay, so here is a little more information that will hopefully do some level of good..
(i'm transcribing this from my laptop onto a desktop, so my apologies for any typos) Code:
[zax@localhost network-scripts]$ cat ifcfg-eth0 |
lo is the local loopback interface (127.0.0.1) and probably not related to what's happening here. First off, can you tell us the results of ifconfig -a done at a command line (if you get "command not found", try /sbin/ifconfig -a).

Okay, so here is what the ifconfig -a told me: (again, my apologies for any typos)
Code:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0D:56:AA:56:2A |
