I'm trying to configure a PLIP connection between two machines, but I'm having some problems...
I get a pair or error messages when I try to configure the plip interface using ifconfig: SIOCSIFADDR: No such device SIOCSIFDSTADDR: No such device The two machines are both running Debian. Both produce the same error messages. I've tried plip and plip[0-2] for interface names. No luck. It looks as if the PLIP device is not compiled into the kernel. I don't get any message regarding PLIP when I boot, but I _know_ I have PLIP compiled into the kernel. I've tried building a new kernel a couple of times and made sure to compile PLIP in. A grep of my .config file shows the CONFIG_PLIP=y line. The system does notice lp1 and lp2 at boot, but says (polling) instead of using an IRQ. Any ideas???
