 |
|
What do I need to enable in menuconfig to get my ethernet card working? It works fine with Knoppix and the Gentoo livecds. From dmesg..
| Code: | | eth0: Lite-On 82c168 PNIC rev 32 at 0xe800, 00:C0:F0:3D:B3:FC, IRQ 11. |
On the card itself, it says
| Code: | Myson
MTD972F
0010EK2352 |
and
| Code: | Myson
MTD971V
0003EE10C3 |
and
| Code: | Kingston Technology
KT98100
1111053
0014
H4505-000 |
and
Any ideas? I already enabled the Myson thing but it still doesn't work..

I do not know what you need, but you could enable all. If it then works, leave support for some cards (maybe 5 or so) out and try again. You will know then that your card is one of those you left out. Then you can try these 5.
Good Luck. |

Duck-Billed Platypus,
I think you need the DEC Tulip driver.
Boot the liveCD and see what appears in
If tulip is there, that it, if not, its one of the others.
