Driver for US Robotics 100MBs ethernet card Accton

Hi,
Which driver should I install for this ethernet card ? Currently, I worked around by installing all drivers in the Ethernet 10/100 category. But I would like to know exactly which driver would work ?

Thanks

Hi.

Please post the output of lspci and lsmod. I know some accton cards, but they're not from US Robotics, so I'm interested in the output of lspci If you compiled the drivers as modules, lsmod will show the driver the kernel is using. The accton, EN-1307D ?, cards I know use the natsemi module.

Hi,
The lspci entry is
00:0b.0 Ethernet controller: Accton Technology Corporation EN-1216 Ethernet Adapter (rev 11)
Subsystem: U.S. Robotics Unknown device 00ed
Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 19
I/O ports at 9000 [size=256]
Memory at df000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=1K]
Capabilities: [c0] Power Management version 2

I built all the drivers as built-in not as modules, so I dont know which module is loaded

Thanks

Well, the easiest path would be to boot with a live-cd and check what module is loaded.
If you don't have a live-cd at hand, you can always compile a new kernel and set all network drivers as modules. Then you just have to test one by one! :wink:

You might also search in /proc and /sys for some info.
Well, I just made an "interesting" discovery:

Thanks

,
I figured it out by reading the dmesg, and the driver should be Tulip. It is the same driver that Debian installed.
