Topic: probs enabling NIC 3c595 PCI

[Eric Siemens]

Hi Folks
I have installed e-smith 4.1.2 with 2 NICs.
eth0 should be 3c595
eth1 is 3c509

ifconfig says
eth1 is working correctly, but eth0 wont work.

My Question is how to enable the 3c595 PCI NIC.
I havent found any tools for disabling the PnP funktion.

thanks for help

I had trouble getting a 3com card working. It just sat there. You seem to have more of a working knowledge of linux than I did at the time so maybe you can find a better solution. I swapped the cards on the e-smith console, committed the changes and allowed it to reboot, swapped them back again, committed the changes and rebooted and the card magically started working.
