I get can't find device error when I do:

Quote:

ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.2 broadcast 192.168.0.255 netmask 255.255.255.0

1. What is the correct command syntax for ifconfig?

Likewise I get a similar can't find device error with:

Quote:

route add -net default gw 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 metric 1 eth0

2. What is the correct command syntax for route?

All hardware works...does on XP & did on Gentoo 1.4 before I re-compiled kernel.

type in :

Code:
