Howdy,
I now know what's in some of the PCs. However, I am not able to get any
of the clients to connect.
I have not connected clients to a k12ltsp server in a long time.
When I tried using k12ltsp way long ago I got a boot image for the nic,
put it on a floppy, put it in the computer and we were up.
Things are not going well this time around.
I have 3 computers I am testing as clients. Two have
Accton Technology Corp SMC2-1211TX (rev 10)
cards and one has a
Linksys Network Everywhere Fast Ethernet 10/100 model NC100 (rev 11)
Both do not come up.
I look at the log and do not see anything useful.
The one computer (with the Linksys card) had been a server with k12ltsp
4.1 on it for a while. I know it works. The other two come up with
Knoppix so they should work???
I have several other computers with who knows what cards.
What boot image should I get for the two cards listed above?
Is there a magic decoder for the output of the lspci command to what is
on the Rom-O-matic site?
Why is this going bad? Why did I wait till the last minute to test
getting the hardware up :-S
Thanks,
Gary
