I finally got it working. Pinging my ipcop server works as well as google. I |
2 |
compiled everything under tulip family network device support as a module |
3 |
and listed 'tulip' in "/etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6". |
4 |
|
5 |
'lsmod' shows only tulip listed. I guess that gets me all squared away here. |
6 |
Thanks a lot for all your help. I should document this problem and post it |
7 |
to my website as I was only able to find a lot of scattered info in regards |
8 |
to this card, the tulip driver and my particular problem in Gentoo. |
9 |
|
10 |
Now back to the handbook to finish my install then onto the Gentoo file |
11 |
server wiki...should be fun and hopefully I'll have a nice little secure |
12 |
fileserver when all is finished. |

OK... what's the output from "make modules && make modules_install"? |
50 |
(when in /usr/src/linux) What does "modprobe tulip" return if you run |
51 |
it *immediately* after "make modules && make modules_install" - i.e. |
52 |
without rebooting first? |
53 |
|
54 |
According to Google, your card has the same chipset as mine, so the |
55 |
options I posted should work. If you're still having trouble, I can |
56 |
post the relevant part of my .config. |
57 |
|
58 |
Speaking of chipsets - what does 'lspci' (sys-apps/pciutils) say about |
59 |
the card? |
