Red Hat install doesn't find NICs

Red Hat install doesn't find NICs

Post by John Ing » Mon, 18 Jun 2001 07:20:44



I installed Red Hat 7.1 on a computer at work as a practice run, no
problem. When I try to install it at home, using the same 2 NICs, it
doesn't see them. What the hey?

The computer has an ASUS CUV4X-E motherboard  and the NICs
are 3COM 905B PCI.

Win98 in the other partition found both of them, why not LINUX?

And if it comes to using expert mode, the latest drivers I can find
are for 2.2.5-22  Will they work?

The 3com 905B uses the 3c59x module so add a line to /etc/modules.conf
like this.

 alias ethX 3c59x

Where ethX is the correct device.

1. Red Hat 7.1 - Installing Red Hat packages after Red Hat is already installed.

How can I install packages that I forgot to install with the Red Hat
7.1 installation?

Here's my problem:
Various pieces of Red Hat keep saying that I am missing a file and
that it needs to be installed with a certain package (namely most of
the Kontrol Panel).  But I have been unsuccessful at finding where
this is done.  I am still a newbie with Linux, but I would assume that
there should be an "Add/Remove Programs" equivalent with Linux.

Please help!
