RE: Seeing a network card

[Bert Haverkamp libertel nl]

Hi Al,

Before seting up the network (IP,etc)
you first have to load the driver-module for your card/chip
with 'lsmod' you can see which modules are loaded.
With 'modprobe <module>' you can load the driver.
Now you only have to figure out which of the modules
</lib/modules/2.4.2/drivers/net I beleave is the directory)
is for your board.

Regards,

Bert
