Zane It is the built-in Ethernet interface, I believe Intel EtherPro 100 or some variation. Seems to DHCP fine based off the initial ide-pci minimal install.
Which specific config files should I copy when I upgrade my kernel to 2.4.8 and I assume I'll have to recompile the module for 2.4.8 as well? I did try to configure it in interfaces but it seems to not want to dhcp an address so I thought I was missing something. Sorry for the newbie questions, I'm actually pretty good when it comes to routing/switching if you ever need any help there... :) Zach -----Original Message----- From: Zane Dodson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, September 13, 2002 12:08 AM To: Zach Bower Cc: debian-laptop@lists.debian.org Subject: Re: Kernel Upgrade Problems - IBM T23 On Thu, Sep 12, 2002 at 11:56:14PM -0400, Zach Bower wrote: <snip> | I'm not sure if I'm missing something during the make config ( or | actually, I used make xconfig), but it seems as though everything | compiles fine and I specified to load the network drivers as modules | but upon reboot, I can't manage to get my eth0 interface to DHCP an | address.

If so, you can configure it for DHCP via /etc/network/interfaces. See the man page on interfaces(5): % man interfaces If eth0 is a PC card, then you can specify to use DHCP when the card is configured by setting DHCP="y" in /etc/pcmcia/network.opts. Hope that helps. Best regards, -- Zane Dodson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
