Hi all Got and oldish (??) NEC machine from someone and I am loading LINUX on it. Initially I suspected the CDROM to be faulty and tried a network install. THe "bootnet" image could not detect the PCI-NIC. I since installed via the CDROM and now that I want to add the network by hand, it reports that it cannot find the network card. ( I created the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 file and edited the /etc/conf.modules file ) The PCI interface-bus is not directly on the motherboard, but it is a card mounted vertically on the motherboard. The machine is a NEC, Intel CPU Pentium 75-200 LINUX: RH6.1 Kernel 2.2.12-20 On startup it says that no useable cards are found, driver not loaded /lib/........./ne2k-pci.o device or resource busy Doing a MODPROBE and IFCONFIG ETH0 UP reports the same. Can someone help ??? TIA !!!!
