MIC and Modem errors during install
Hi,
I am trying to install Linux 7.1 on a machine based on a Socket-462 motherboard hosting an AMD K7 processor. This machine has an internal NIC and software based modem. I searched the Hardware configuration list for x86 based machines at: http://hardware.redhat.com/hcl/genpa...tpage=7.1-inic and both, my embeded NIC type and modem type are listed. The NIC is a Sis 900 PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter and the modem is a PCTel one. I am getting the following fatal errors: 1._ Linux does not recognize the embeded ethernet card in the Mobo. I am getting a: Bringing up interface eth0: Determining IP info for configuration failed ... during boot up, and 2._ the PCTel modem is not recognised by Linux either, so I can not even connect to the internet. Please, let me know do I solved this problem, and/or if you need more info. Thanks |

i can't remember right off the top of my head, but i think there is some support for PCTel softmodems, but it's limited. i'm not sure about the embedded ethernet, but if it's not controller-less, then it should be supported. i'll look around to see what else i can find. |
Went to linuxmodems.com
and found a file named pctel-2.4.tar.gz.
I will need to: 1._ download the file using Windows onto a floppy, 2._ boot up Linux But what do I do then? Could you indicate to me the next steps or point me to this info? As you can see I am new to Linux. Thanks |
