LAN card doesn't work

Post by Stefan Stommel » Wed, 29 Nov 2000 16:36:14



My REALTEK 8029 won't initialize. I've configured the card in
linuxconf, but at boot-time linux is unable to configure the IP-address
for eth0. It's a PCI combo card on COAX. When I use my old ISA-ne2k,
all works well (DHCP and all)

The RTL8029 works, cause I use it in windows all the time. Linux
detects it, but can't find the DHCP server. Something to do with
UTP/BNC settings ?

Try this. If you have a 8029 config utility for DOS, please make sure you
have selected Auto Media Type. If you don't have, obtain it from NIC driver
disk. Usually Diag.exe, or something like that. Should works.

1. Re. bffcreate -X doesn't work Re: bffcreate -X Doesn't Work

bffcreate first restores all images from the tape to /tmp (default)
and than does a 'restore -p' to pack them in big files and place these
files in /usr/sys/inst.images. It's much more easier to use 'dd' to
copy the files directly from the tape to disk. The only thing you have
to take care about it the naming. If all images are copied run 'inutoc'
on the directory were you placed your files this will create the
table of contents files '.toc'.
