eth0: unknown interface: No such device

(both times)

(fyi e510 is my computer name and I'm leaving out the time and date off of these lines since I have to type them all.

This tell you anything?

That means one of two things. Either the dirver did not get loaded or it does not have a driver for that card. What kernel are you using?

Give this a shot....Might just need a shot in the arm.

sata.i (Right off the 10.2 installation cd which I purchased from the web)

For the exact version I'll post that when I get home. (Probably 2.4.??? or something in that vicinity)

UPDATE : 2.4.31 (did a cat /proc/version)

Showing no such device for both of those commands (I think I've already tried the e100 but I tried it again anyway)

Try downloading and installing the driver.

Or compile your kernel.

Yeah well...hard to do when you can't even find the actual name of your nic card. Even on Dell's website it's simply described as a generic intel card.

That fact that it's integrated makes it that much harder to identify by pulling the pc apart to take a look.

I guess I'll just try a newer kernel or just give in and put in an older pci nic.

Thanks for the help anyway!

You could back up to suse 10; lsmod; to see what drivers/modules it loads. As suse 9.3 used the 2.6 kernel, then 10 would be using that series also. Chances are you will need to build your own 2.6 from /testing with sata built in.

good luck

I went out an bought a new card instead of using the nic in the laptop. I as well as other's I talked to said that their card did not even work most of the time. The dlink that I purchased was had no problems working with slackware. Just a suggestion.

dlink eh?

I'll give that a try. I'll grab one on my way home from work. Maybe I'll leave early to stop at the store before hand.

Thanks...I'll let you guys know how it goes.

The reason I recommend that alternative is because Everyone I have talked with that had a dell laptop has said they have nothing but problems out of their nic cards. That is why I use a pcmcia card. I hope it works well.

Well this isn't a laptop (fyi) but definitely problems with their nics. I hate integrated shit.
anyway...bought a (Good god, did I say linksys? I HATE linksys!!) D-link on the way home...slapped it in and all is right with the world! (had to pull out the modem but...the system didn't sense that either so fuck it)

Thanks for your patience and help everybody!

Great. I am not sure about dell workstations. I agree I hate integrated parts.
