Hi,

I have a problem with my Network card when i did :

Code:

# ifconfig eth0

i got :

Code:

# eth0 &#58; error fetching interface information . device not found

but when i did

Code:

# lspci

i got

Code:

# Ethernet controller &#58;MYSON Technology Inc SURECOM EP_32OX-5 100/10M ethernet PCI adapter

I want to to get it up and running what should I do to configure it ?
Actually it runs fine on windows. but in Linux it's another story.....
I run Slackware 10.1 Kernel 2. 4
Thanks a lot for your help

Just because it's displayed by "lspci" doesn't mean that you have support for your network card. Look at G4L to see if you can find what's the name of the driver you need, or something. You may need to re-compile the kernel.

it would run fine in windows, you've got a driver for it installed, whereas you havent here.

I think the module you are looking for in 2.4 is 'fealnx'

try 'modprobe fealnx' and seeing what 'dmesg' says about it

hope this helps
