Topic: Howto get NIC 3C940 to work on a SME 6.5???

[d_gerst]

Hello,

I've compiled the drivers for this gigabit NIC 3c2000 (3C940 onboard NIC of a Asus P4C800 Deluxe) on SME 6.5 RC1. I install it via make install an check if it is correct inserted /lib/module... and test it with modprobe 3c2000 everything works fine.

I startup eth1 (3C940) with ifconfig eth1 up the NIC will be available, but if i try to configure via SME configure panel "configure this server", SME will found a unknown NIC but the driver couldn't be loaded.

If i try to asign an ip to nic with ifconfig the whole SME server will frozen and nothing is working.

So have someone an idea, clue or solution to solve thie problem.

Best regards,
Daniel

/sbin/e-smith/config set EthernetDriver1 3c2000
/sbin/e-smith/signal-event post-upgrade
/sbin/e-smith/signal-event reboot
