1. Ethernet card config question
I've just installed a new Ethernet card: a 3Com 509 in my system, and am
having some minor problems. I'm running a relatively new (6-months old?)
version of Slackware (the exact revision escapes me at this hour).
I've rebuilt the kernel to install 3Com drivers, configured the appropriate
files in /etc/rc.d, and everything seems fine....except that the kernel isn't
testing/initializing/installing the card when it boots. The failure mode I
see is that eth0 isn't recognized as a valid device by ifconfig. I know the
card is fine, since Win95 recognized it automatically.
I've studied the HOWTO's for this and don't SEEM to have missed anything. Is
there a subtle (but important ;-) step I've missed?
Thanks,
John.
