I'm an amateur trying to configure a newly bought laptop to be connected to a
net using a 3COM 3C589C card. The following is part of the boot message
FDC 0 is an 8272A
NCR53c406a: no available ports found
eata_dma: No BIOS32 extensions present. This driver release still
depends on it.
Skipping scan for PCI HBAs.
qlogicisp : PCI bios not present
PPA: unable to initialise controller at 0x378, error 2
scsi : 0 hosts.
scsi : detected total.

loading device 'eth0'...

Swansea University Computer Society IPX 0.34 for NET3.035
as far as I can see it there are no errors in the automatic detection of the
card?
my /etc/hosts file looks like this:
127.0.0.1 localhost wall
130.226.66.83 fm_lap1 dmi66083.dmi.min.dk
my /etc/resolv.conf looks like this:
nameserver 130.226.64.24
nameserver 130.226.64.25
domiain dmi.min.dk
then I run this (I guess it has to go in /etc/init.d/network later ?)
ifconfig eth0 fm_lap1 netmask 255.255.255.0
ifconfig reports eth0 is up
route add -net 130.226.66.83
with this result
SIOCADDRT: Invalid argument
any help will be highly appreciated...
I have used the Linux Network Administration Guide to get so far..
