 |
|
Originally, I had configured Gentoo to use dhcp, but am now attempting to connect via ADSL, using rp-pppoe. I have been unable to get Gentoo to recognize my network card (3com 3c905C) now that I am no longer on the network it was configured to run on. When attempting to connect using rp-pppoe I get a message indicating that the connection cannot be made on /dev/null. /dev/eth0 does not exist, so I am assuming that is the problem. How should I go about removing my old network settings and creating /dev/eth0?
thank you |

hmm.. this network card SHOULD be supported by the 3c59x driver
try to insmod this module or recompile kernel and include this:
<M> 3c590/3c900 series (592/595/597) "Vortex/Boomerang" support

you could try:
and then set the netcard to /dev/eth0 and not Dial on Demand. Then go online with
if it says ...connected its ok.
Or you should try a static network-setup, its like in the Install-Documentation. |

insert the "module"line in /etc/modules.conf so the card will "start" at boot.

Problem solved. I had support for my card compiled into the kernel so that wasn't the problem. I naively assumed I had "Network Device Support -> PPP support for sync tty ports" compiled into my kernel. Thank you for the help though, I apoligize for my laziness.
