Howdy all,
I was wondering if anyone could offer any advice on a problem I am having
getting a network up and running on a slack7 box.
On boot up I get the following messages.
..
SIOCADDRT: File Exists
Configuring eth0 as 1*.*.*.*
SIOCSIFADDR: No such Device
eth0: unknown interface: No such Device
SIOCSIFBRDADDR: No such device
eth0: unknown interface: No such Device
SIOCSIFNETMASK: No such device
SIOCADDRT: Network is unreachable
.....
Now I am using a 3c59x driver as I know that that one works as the Redhat
instalation can pick it up. The kernal is 2.2-12 but I have tried to make
2.2-13 as I was told by a mate that this should pick up the net card. So I
did but the distro is a bit fsck and not compiling the src properly. Very
odd. When I tried insmod 3c59x.o I get this module will not work with your
kernal you need 2.2-13. Arse. I can't get onto the net to get the latest
kernal. And the src of the one that was installed is shafted. Anyone got any
ideas?
Thanks
Aj
