Re: no network cards



you will probably do better when you are asking a question to provide more specific information.

In this case you need to provide the following:
1. the make of your pc and the exact make and model of your cards (e.g. are they supported by redat? see
http://hardware.redhat.com/hcl/?pagename=hcl&view=allhardware#form OR
http://www.scyld.com/network/index.html


2. complete error messages o, alternatively,r open a terminal as root and post the output from the following:

a. ifconfig -a (this should list all your network interfaces whether they are up or down)
b. lspci |less (to see if your card has been assigned a resource)
c. lsmod (to see if your network driver shows up in the list of loaded modules)


3. if you found that your cards are supported, you can ask linux specific questions about your modules

a. locate YOUR MODULE NAME HERE

4. and direct llinux to install the module

a. insmod YOUR MODULE NAME HERE
OR
b. modprobe YOUR MODULE NAME HERE

5. If these fail and you think that 2.a above suggests that assignment of an IRQ is necessary:

a. insmod YOUR MODULE NAME HERE irq=N //where N=an IRQ known to be available
OR
b. modprobe YOUR MODULE NAME HERE irq=N //where N=an IRQ known to be available

Hey,

I'm new to Linux and even newer to Redhat.

I recently installed RH8.0 on my PC (as a full install
- no partition).

Everything went OK apart from my network cards (I have
2) not being picked up.

One is a linksys ethernet card and the other is a
Trust card.

It seems as though my PC may not be assigning them
IRQs for some reason.

Is there a way to solve this ?

I'd like to be able to run firestarter on my Linux
machine and link both me and my wifes Windows pc to
the internet.

Thanks,
Nathan
