(For those of you who've been tuned in for the past few months: Remember that old 486? Well, after recompiling the kernel failed to get OpenBSD to recognize my modem, I gave up and installed Red Hat Linux 6.0, which led to a new problem, namely....) I have an ancient machine (a 486SX that's about five years old) running Red Hat Linux, with plug-and-play modem and Ethernet cards. After much study of the Linux ISAPNP documentation, I've set up an /etc/isapnp.conf file that assigns appropriate port addresses and IRQs to those two cards. In my /etc/rc.d/rc.local script, I use setserial to configure the serial device that the modem is attached to, and then I use insmod to load 8390.o and ne.o (the card is an NE2000 clone). When I load ne.o, I get a message on the screen, acknowledging that the kernel recognizes the Ethernet card there. However, if I type ifconfig, I still only see the lo (loopback) device, and no Ethernet. Likewise, there's no eth0 file under /dev. What command have I left out that is preventing things from running? -- perl -le"for(@w=(q[dm='r 0rJaa,u0cksthe';dc=967150;dz=~s/d/substrdm,\ (di+=dc%2?4:1)%=16,1ordi-2?'no':'Perl h'/e whiledc>>=1;printdz]))\ {s/d/chr(36)/eg;eval;}#In Windows type this all on 1 line w/o '\'s" == seth gordon == sgordon at kenan.com == standard disclaimer == == documentation group, kenan systems corp., cambridge, ma == - Subcription/unsubscription/info requests: send e-mail with "subscribe", "unsubscribe", or "info" on the first line of the message body to discuss-request at blu.org (Subject line is ignored).
