Adri,
I saw your message on the Debian-User archived mailing list (which I am
NOT suscribed) and thought I would jump in here. I am using the 2.2.19
kernel here, and I just did a quick check of my existing, pre-compiled
modules. There WAS a "dfme.o" module listed there, so your card may
already have a compiled module that will work! Before going to the
trouble of compiling the stuff that came with the card, take a look at
your /lib/modules/2.2.19-pre17/net/ directory and see if you can find a
"dfme.o" file listed there. If it is there, then you "should" be able
to make it work by inserting it in the /etc/modules file or by using the
"modconf" program and adding any needed options you may want.
Thank you VERY much. The file was there, indeed, but it's called dmfe.o not
dfme.o ! ;)
I edited the /etc/module file and rebooted. Then, /usr/sbin/modconf had it
loaded successfully.
Then I edited the /etc/network/interfaces. There was a loopback interface
in it, I added
iface eth0 inet static
address 195.94.135.247
netmask 255.255.255.192
network 195.94.135.192
gateway .. .. ... I don't remember now
Then I typed ifup eth0 and I got
"SIOCADDRT network unreachable" error message.
I've looked for the /etc/init.d/network file but didn't find it.
I found /etc/init.d/networking instead but it looks like all different stuff.
Now, I wonder: is there something wrong about the ethernet card module OR
about the network configurations?
Isn't there a way to test the ethernet card ? Maybe I should look in /dev/
something ?
Thanks so much, anyway.
Bye
Adri
