Are you using Debian? Perhaps there is a utility like netconfig that will allow you to configure your network card. Try configuring from the shell.

The driver could be loading at boot time. In fact, it mentions eth0 when it successuflly probes for the card and mac address. However, when I log in and check /dev to make sure that eth0 is in fact there, I get the following: ls: eth0: no such file or directory. Does this mean that the card didn't properly initialize into a device file? How could I fix this?

Well interestingly enough, when I do a lsmod, there are no modules listed. But when the kernel is booting, it tells me the driver version and all the information regarding the card itself such as mac address. So I believe that this means that the driver is in the kernel? I believe this is so, however for some reason the tulip driver might not be loading? > > > ----- Original Message ----- > > > From: Georgina <gena at gena-j.net> > > > To: <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> > > > Sent: Saturday, March 16, 2002 9:56 AM > > > Subject: Re: question > > > > > > > > > > Hi > > > > > > > > Sorry forgot try "man interfaces" > > > > > > > > Gena > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > >Hi all.
