DHCP not working under Linksys card

dart020 · 07-27-2006, 03:01 PM

I just install Slackware 10.2 with the stock kernel 2.4.31 and the DHCP not working under my Linksys NIC. The NIC is connected to a router using DHCP but the router is not the problem since I'm using another computer using the router. The NIC card has been working under Ubuntu & Damn Small Linux.

Code:

lspci (cut short because I can't copy and paste):
00:0e.0 Ethernet contoller: Linksys NC100 Network Fast Ethernet 10/100 (rev 11)

Code:

lsmod:
soundcore
usb-ohci
usbcore
tulip
crc32
ide-scsi
agpgart

Code:

ifconfig -a:
eth0  Link encop:Ethernet HWADDR 00:04:5A:5D:6F:56

Thank you very much.

Do you have the card set to use DHCP in /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf? USE_DHCP[0]="yes"

Yes I do have it set.

hey if you got DSL there why not boot up off their cd...run 'cat /proc/modules' and see what it's giving you as running modules, then just compare to your slackware, then modprobe as required if need be.
