by i just installed RedHat 5.0 via FTP.
However, since i installed it, the kernel won't initialize the network
card.
I've tried compiling the driver support as a module AND directly into the
kernel, but still, i receive the error "Delaying eth0 initialization."
Inside the X network configurator, Interfaces tab shows that the device is
inactive. I cannot activate it- every time I quit the control panel, it is
inactivated again.
I know the IRQ and I/O addresses are correct, and I know that the driver
DOES work with the card- I had Slackware 96 working perfectly before I
switched.
I also know that Red Hat 5 will work with the card, because I was able to
actually download the distribution via FTP from sunsite.
Any help would be appreciated.
Remove the x from my email address when replying.
