Re: [TCLUG:22457] Switching Ethernet Cards

["The Ixian" <theixian@unrest.cx>]

did you, by chance, compile your kernel with eepro support?
if you have compiled the driver as a module you need to load it first
(remember to unload your current driver, if applicable)
once it is loaded run ifconfig and set your default gateway and you are
ready to go.

: Greet the sun all:
:
: My laptop, up to a week ago, was running a Xircom 10/100 PCMCIA card.
: Now I have a Intel Etherexpress Pro 100/B, 10/100 MBit/s autosensing
: chip on the Mini-PCI bus, and it works (according to various sources)
: with the standard Intel driver.  I don't have something like kudzu to
: autodetect a hardware change (running Debian), so how do I get it to
: recognize the new lan chip?  From some searching, I understand that the
: Intel EE Pro is support by the current 2.2.1* kernel. I did an ifconfig
: and it lists a tap0 along with lo but no eth0.  Is cardmgr waiting for
: me to insert a new PCMCIA card in order to supply networking and
: prevents any type of detection of the Intel card on the PCI bus?
:
: Thank you,
