anyone have any problems before using a linksys LNE100TX with redhat 7.1?

can't get it to recognize the friggin' network card and was just wondernig if anyone had any problems like that before and if there were fixes for it ;)

thanks

I've got one set up on a home box of mine running RH 7.2 ... No problems here.

Advice: Push the card into the slot a little firmer! :D

Check the /proc/pci file to make sure the card is listed. If not, check you bios, and make sure that it sees the card.

Then you will need to compile the tulip ethernet driver for the card.

Then make an entry in your /etc/modules.conf file as such:
alias eth1 tulip

Then make an ifcfg-eth1 file under /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts.

Then restart the network services.

That should do it! or at least get you close

I had the same problem with the same card last week. It seems to be a hardware thing. My one server found the card with no problem. And two of my other servers didn't.

Good luck.

hehe oops... forgot about this thread while i was intrigued by another thread ;)

yea but the thing is, the comp redhat 7.1 is on is being dual booted and it works fine in Win2k ;)

audiboy, thanks for the info... the computer i was talking about is not in reach until i go back to school ;) so ill try out your things and see how it goes... if it still doesn't work, im going to try to take RH7.1 out and install RH7.2 to see if it fixes anything..

oh, and im a linux newbie... can you explain:

another thing that I should add... when I boot the computer in RedHat and when it says initializing network or whatever... the LinkSys clicks once or twice and it gets stuck there for about a minute before givnig me a 'FAILED' message... so if that signifies anything, someone add to this thread ;)

thanks!
