Hi there,

I've installed Linux on my PC (486 DX), but I cannot telnet to other hosts
on our network.
I have a Racal NI5210 ethernet card installed in my PC, configured as follows:

port: 360
int:  3
mem:  d0000 200

When I boot up my PC with Linux, I get the following messages:
SIOCSIFADDR: No such device
SIOCSIFBRDADDR: No such device
SIOCSIFNETMASK: No such device
SIOCADDTR: Network is unreachable
SIOCADDTR: Network is unreachable

Is there any special drivers that I need to reach the rest of the network?

I've got a similar problem with an NE2000 card

my IRQ is 5
base mem = 0x300

same here, but I just figure this is cause I don't have the i486
connected to anything yet (had it cabled to my 386 but for the moment
just using a t-connector with a couple of network terminators on it)

I can't ifconfig to recognize eth0, i've tried adding:
ether=5,0x300,eth0 to lilo.conf but to no avail, also
it looks like rc.inet1 is attempting to configure it, but I never
see it come across in the boot-up msg's

Also tried recompiling the kernel (1.2.8) and was never asked
about NE2000 support, but answered yes to most of the others
incl. DE2100 (i think that was it...)
