Hi, I have a similar porblem. I have upgraded it to 2.4.18 from the source code www.kernel.org. And when I do ifconfig eth0, I get No such device. Is there a way to do it ?
Any help on this would be appreciated. Thanks and Regards Deepak [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote "Kapil Khosla" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > Hi, I want to set up the route of my newly setup network.

Generally, ifconfig should show you whether or not a NIC is noticed by the kernel. You said that you insmod'ed them - did you receive any report that this may have not worked while doing it? sockios.h: /* Routing table calls. */ #define SIOCADDRT 0x890B /* add routing table entry */ #define SIOCDELRT 0x890C /* delete routing table entry */ #define SIOCRTMSG 0x890D /* call to routing system */ The SIOCADDRT is what operation is reporting the error. When you do an ifconfig eth0, do you see anything?
