Re: [TCLUG:9143] DSL woes: teh revenge

[Chris Kesler <chris@pconline.com>]

Here are a few things you'll want to check.  Make sure you have the module
file for the card you're using.  For a 3C905, you want to use the 3c59x
module.  So look for /lib/modules/2.2.5-22/net/3c59x.o, replacing my
"2.2.5-22" with your appropriate kernel version.

Check your /etc/conf.modules to make sure you have a line like this:
alias eth0 3c59x

If you have both of those, then try:
# insmod 3c59x

to install the module.  Then run ifconfig again to see if it worked.  If
it did, you can start the network by rebooting, or by typing whatever
command is appropriate on your system, on mine it's
#/etc/rc.d/init.d/network start

Good luck,
Chris
