 Posted: Sun Nov 21, 2004 10:45 pm Post subject: Lite-on LNE100TX and home router questions |
 |
|
hi all
I have a home router running with one network card. The routing works, but sometimes i have a very bad internal network.
Now i thought it could be better to have two network cards, one for adsl connection and the other one for the home network.
Is this really better?
My second question: I dont get the second network card running.

I googled for the driver of the lite-on and thought something that it would be tulip. I had tulip support in the kernel for my other network card but it doesnt work.
ifconfig -a doesnt show up a eth1. can anybody help? thanks, Paul |

search this forum for lite-on. also called pnic100. i had a hell of a time with it, replace it 
i meanwhile got it running, if i reboot the machine in question twice (dont power off, just reboot). maybe it works for you as well.
also google is full of this, btw..
and, yes, you are correct, tulip drivers are correct. however, the problem is syncing (autonegotiation) where the card (at least mine) fails - and at least i am not alone with this. put in another realtek, and you should be fine and have less headache. |

have you created a net.eth1 script by doing
| Code: | | ln -sf /etc/init.d/net.eth0 /etc/init.d/net.eth1 |
Then you need to edit /etc/conf.d/net and add settings for the nic card and finally bring it up with | Code: | | /etc/init.d/net.eth1 start |
I have a lite-on nic card (branded netgear) and it runs fine, if you continue to have problems a new realtek should only set you back £5 |
