On my Asus K8V motherboard is a 3-Com 3c2000 NIC. I have downloaded and compiled the Driver (as far as I can tell, new to this distro) but I am having problems getting it to load with the kernel and trying to configure it. The log file messages had some text relating to the startup of the driver but I cannot access the internet etc. I followed the instructions to extract the tar, "make load" then "ifconfig eth0 up", but when I go to the network configuration utilities in FC1 I can't find the card or driver. Nor can I figure out how to load it on boot. The instructions talk about using "/etc/modules.conf file" or insmod . Also as I cannot select the NIC I cannot tell if it is set to use DHCP. +++++SNIP+++++++++ If your system is not configured for DHCP, you can assign an IP address with the command: ifconfig eth0 a.b.c.d Where a.b.c.d is the IP address that you wish to use. Again, eth0 may be different depending on your system configuration. Configuring the Driver ------------------------ The 3C2000 driver supports various options, which can be supplied as command line arguments to the 'insmod' command or in the /etc/modules.conf file. You may specify more than one option. Unless otherwise stated, all settings take the form of: <Option-Name>=value [,value...] If you use the modules.conf file to load the driver at boot time, include the word "options" when configuring the driver. For example: options 3c2000 DupCap_A=Full If you use command line 'insmod', do not include the word "option" when configuring the driver. For example: insmod 3c2000.o DupCap_A=Full The following options are supported: OPTION: Speed_A Selects the speed of Port A of the NIC. "Auto" - Automatic Resolution "10" - 10MBPS "100" - 100MBPS "1000" - 1GIG OPTION: DupCap_A Selects the duplex capabilities of Port A of the NIC. "Full" - Full Duplex "Half" - Half Duplex "Both" - Both Half Duplex & Full Duplex +++++++SNIP+++++++++++++++++++++++++ I use an old computer with Smoothwall on it which provides the DHCP. Anyone have some suggestions as to how to I can ge the network running on FC1, or if their is support for this card in FC3? Thanks Dav
