<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>On my Asus K8V motherboard is a 3-Com 3c2000
NIC. I have downloaded and compiled the Driver (as far as I can tell, new
to this distro) but I am having problems getting it to load with the kernel and
trying to configure it. The log file messages had some text relating to the
startup of the driver but I cannot access the internet etc.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I followed the instructions to extract the tar,
"make load" then "ifconfig eth0 up", but when I go to the network configuration
utilities in FC1 I can't find the card or driver. Nor can I figure out how
to load it on boot. The instructions talk about using "/etc/modules.conf
file" or insmod . Also as I cannot select the NIC I cannot tell if it is
set to use DHCP.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>From the readme file</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>+++++SNIP+++++++++</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If your system is not configured for DHCP, you can
assign an IP address<BR>with the command:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> ifconfig eth0 a.b.c.d</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Where a.b.c.d is the IP address that you wish to
use. Again, eth0 may<BR>be different depending on your system
configuration. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Configuring the Driver
<BR>------------------------</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> The 3C2000 driver supports
various options, which can be supplied <BR> as command line
arguments to the 'insmod' command or in the <BR>
/etc/modules.conf file. You may specify more than one
option.<BR> Unless otherwise stated, all settings take the
form of:<BR> <BR>
<Option-Name>=value [,value...]</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> If you use the modules.conf file
to load the driver at boot time, <BR> include the word
"options" when configuring the driver.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> For example:
<BR> options 3c2000 DupCap_A=Full<BR> <BR> If you
use command line 'insmod', do not include the word
"option"<BR> when configuring the driver. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> For example:
<BR> insmod 3c2000.o
DupCap_A=Full<BR> <BR>
<BR> The following options are supported:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> OPTION: Speed_A<BR>
Selects the speed of Port A of the NIC. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> "Auto" - Automatic
Resolution<BR> "10" - 10MBPS<BR> "100" -
100MBPS<BR> "1000" - 1GIG</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> OPTION: DupCap_A<BR>
Selects the duplex capabilities of Port A of the NIC.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> "Full" - Full
Duplex<BR> "Half" - Half Duplex<BR> "Both" - Both Half
Duplex & Full Duplex<BR>+++++++SNIP+++++++++++++++++++++++++</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I use an old computer with Smoothwall on it which
provides the DHCP.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Anyone have some suggestions as to how to I can ge
the network running on FC1, or if their is support for this card in
FC3?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks </FONT></DIV>
