nothing helps,
nothing goes out only comes in


but it works now  :-)


# kudzu -p
or
# vi /etc/sysconfig/hwconf
-
class: NETWORK
bus: PCI
detached: 0
device: eth0
driver: e100    <-- should be eepro100 !!
desc: "Intel Corp.|82557/8/9 [Ethernet Pro 100]"
network.hwaddr: 00:A0:C9:12:34:56
vendorId: 8086
deviceId: 1229
subVendorId: 0000
subDeviceId: 0000
pciType: 1
-


# ifconfig eth0 down
# rmmod e100

# modprobe eepro100

#  modinfo eepro100
this output looks much better than    # modinfo e100



replace in /etc/modules.conf  e100 with eepro100

----
# alias eth0 e100
alias eth0 eepro100
----

# service network restart


don´t worry be happy   ;-)

$ ping www.google.de

with the severn1 boot-disk is it just the same

choose manually the eepro100,
[alt][F3]    inserted e100 intel ether pro/100
this is the reason why i can´t do a network-install


how could i solve this problem ?
can i simple rename the eepro100 module to e100 ?

the better shot,
which file include the info / relationship    module <-> nic ?
