Hi all. Sorry if this is a bit long. I'm running Slink 2.1 (r2) and trying to get a 3Com900 ethernet (PCI) card working. I've done the following: Compiled driver from source (D Becker) and put this 3c90x.o in /lib/modules/2.0.36/net Added alias eth0 3com90x to /etc/modutils/alias (at the end - is this correct?) and ran update-modules.
Ran insmod 3c90x.o (giving the path; no errors were reported). Ran ifconfig eth0 address (I used 192.168.1.1) - ifconfig after this seemed to show all OK: it showed both lo and eth0 (bcast 192.168.1.255; mask 255.255.255.0). Added lines to /etc/hosts ; /etc/networks and /etc/resolv.conf. My questions are: do I need to add anything to /etc/init.d/network and if so, what? and is there anything else I need to do to get the machine to recognize the card at boot? I tried using what I've done, and nothing happens - ping 192.168.1.1 gives network unreachable. Thanks in advance.
