 Posted: Sat Apr 08, 2006 3:08 am Post subject: Dlink DGE-530T FRUSTRATION!! [SOLVED] |
 |
|
Hi all,
I have scoured the net for answers to my problems, but nothing i've tried has worked. I recently got a DLink DGE-530T Gigabit ethernet card and for the life of me can't even get my linux install to recognize the dang thing. I booted the newest LiveCD and it at least recognized it(I couldn't get it to work) but no matter what I do in my linux install it just says eth0 does not exist. I am using 2.6.10-r12 kernel. I have tried loading the sk98lin as a module, compiling it in the kernel, tried the skge as a module, compiled in the kernel, and none of that worked. I'm at the end of my patience here and any guidance/suggestions would really be helpfule to me! I'm not really sure what other information to give, so if there is aynthing that would be helpful, please let me know! Thank you!
Andrew

the number one thing that helps me in this situation is the command
I find that it is often difficult without this command to ascertain the true hardware of the card.
see what the command dmesg has to say, especially
to see wheter the hardware drivers have anything to tell us.
these 2 posts will help lots. |

Hi, thanks for the reply.
lspci give me this:
Ethernet Controller: D-Link System Inc: Unkown Device 4b01 (rev 11)
and there is nothing about eth0 or anything else to do with ethernet in my dmesg
Does any of that help? |

| Ok, I fixed it! I had to go to syskonnects web site and download their latest version of the driver and build a patch into my kernel. This made everything run fine! |
