Hello my name is Jason Newton and I fairly new to Linux so if I have =
done something wrong on this install please let me know. I hope to =
eventually replace windows with Linux if it proves to be more stable. =
When trying to install my network anywhere nc100 network card( It uses =
the tulip.o driver or dec chip set) using the command insmod tulip.o =
options=3D9 which should set my network speed to 10 base T (Note: I am =
using a network hub and a cable modem that will only recognize 10 meg =
per second connection.) my hub connection light goes off and the card =
does not function. I also tried to use the /etc/conf.module file to set =
the option and that did not seem work either however I was less clear on =
what to type on that. When I run dmesg after connecting using insmod =
the network card reports as follows:
tulip.c:v0.89H 5/23/98 becker@cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov
eth0: Macronix 98715 PMAC at 0xfc00, 00 20 78 e0 09 a6, IRQ 10.
eth0: EEPROM default media type MII 100baseT4.
the last line makes me think that the problem is that it is connecting =
at 100 meg per second.
I have also tried to connect using insmod tulip.o options=3D0,16 for =
auto select and received the same result. I do not have a modem in my =
machine just a network card and a cable modem that hooks to it so I can =
not reach the internet without a working network card (in Linux this was =
sent from windows). I feel that I can not even get the rest of Linux =
running with out being able to get on the web to get drivers. I am =
using Corel Linux with kernel 2.2.12. Any help you can give would be =
greatly appreciated
