network card IC PLUS IP1000 family gigabit ethernet
Hello...I am very new at linux, and I installed openSuse 10.2 and I been having troubles getting my net card to work, PLEASE move this, if it belongs to Hardware..I didn't where exactly I should put it
it's a IC PLUS IP1000 family gigabit ethernet, integrated card in a abit mobo I found the drivers for linux, and I kinda got it to work manually setting the ip and netmask using ifconfig,and then going to yast and adding a similar netcard and configuring everything..and i can use the internet, the problem comes when I restart my computer my netcard kinda switches positions the first time it was eth2 and then switched to eth4. and then to 6..and right now is eth9 :confused: . So everytime I restart I have to do this: #insmod ./ipg.ko ; which is the file generated after I compiled the driver #ifconfig ethX ; until I find which spot is the net card this time #ifconfig ethX 192.168.2.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 ;once I find it and then go to Yast to reconfigure everything I been looking all over the place, and I don't see any similar cases...anyone knows what can i do?.. thanks in advance |
no one?...not even an idea of whats going on? =(

how did you get it to compile. I can't get it to compile at all.
make all => generate ipg.ko .............. it says make: xxx doesn't have a something or other. thanks. |
make sure you have the source kernel installed for whatever distro you use, mine (openSuse) didn't have them installed, as default so i used to get
Code:
No rule to make target 'Linux'. Stop." But mine didn't really, i had another error, im copying the solution i used, credit to whoever is due Quote:
edit- oh btw make sure when you type Quote:

Thanks I'll try that tonight. I did do the make all by itself. I was though before hand putting in the => generate stuff, but corrected it just by trying to figure it out. When I did the make all by itself it came back with a more hopeful looking error message. It was the same thing but with additional lines. I'll try that upg.h fix and see if it works. I hope that I have the same 2.6.18 kernel. I just installed openSuse 10.2.
Thank you!:p |
oh..so i could kinda help you if things go wrong, don't give up if things get a little frustrating, openSuse is amazing once you have it running
