I don't know the K360 or K380, but I have a K200 that has the same |
| 9 |
problem. I believe the module you want is LASI_82596, but last I checked |
| 10 |
it was broken on the 2006.1 media. I know the team was working on a media |
| 11 |
refresh with a newer kernel that should fix the lasi problem. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
You can try "modprobe lasi-82596" and check dmesg output. If it |
| 14 |
complains about "driver claims to have debug option but does not", you |
| 15 |
will have to resort to an older install disc, like 2006.0. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
The lasi port should be the 10MB port on the main I/O card. If you have |
| 18 |
add-on network cards, I don't believe they are supported. At least the |
| 19 |
tulip based 10/100 card I have in the K200 is not supported. The driver |
| 20 |
loads and the system sees eth1 and eth2, but neither can communicate on |
| 21 |
the network. |

Again, I don't know the K3XX, but the K200 does not have PCI, so lspci |
| 28 |
will not generate any output. After booting, check the dmesg output |
| 29 |
"dmesg | less" and page through that. It should list the hardware it |
| 30 |
found durning the boot process. |

I'm not sure about the above syntax. I use "bo lan" and my K200 and D360 |
| 38 |
and it works fine. I just use that for upgrading the fireware though. |
| 39 |
All my machines have multiple network cards, but I have only used the |
| 40 |
network card on the main I/O card for booting. |
