Very Computer

Hi

I installed RedHat 4.2 Linux (2.0.30) on the following hardware:
P166
main board ASUS TX97
64 MB RAM
SB AWE64 sound card

DEC chip 21041 network card
IDE HDD and CD-ROM

I am having problems connecting to the network, or more precisely I have
a problem connecting to my network card. I have gone through all the
documentation (HOWTO and FAQ), but still no joy.

Here is what I have tried:

1. When running dmesg, there is no trace of any eth0 entries.
2. When looking in /proc/pci I can see that the network card is detected
with a IRQ = 11 and I/O = 0xd400
3. I recompiled my kernel to include only my network card (ie 21041)
4. I tried suggested LILO: linux ether=11,0xd400,eth0
5. /dev/eth0 still not present

Anyone with some ideas that might solve my problem???
Let me know if you need any additional info that migh shine more light
on the problem.

Thanks for your help

have you tried something like:
# route add default 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 eth0

check the NET3 HOWTO as this is from memory.

And AFAIK Linux does not create /dev/eth0 files

you had the same problem I had.  Recompile the Kernel for support for a
PCI ethernet card and then select the tulip (2something) card and then
recompile.  Then to initialize the card you need to
/sbin/ifconfig eth0 ${IPADDR} broadcast ${BROADCAST} netmask ${NETMASK}
or you can edit the above lines in ur /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 file
it took me 2 weeks to figure out it was a tulip card :)  hope that helps
you a bit.  have fun
