Since the 2.6 kernel has been included in Knoppix the same problem over and over
has been a problem, LAN card.
The problem is the de4x5 driver and 21041 based DLink 503+ cards. Under 2.4.x
kernels works great using the tulip driver. Kernel 2.6 seems to want to use the
de4x5 in place of the tulip one for some reason.
I've tried modprobe tulip and then netcardconfig same results HARD LOCK UP.
Require a reset.
So I removed the de4x5 driver via modprobe -r de4x5 then did a modprobe tulip
and tried to do both a netcardconfig and ifconfig manually.
Both result in an error about no such interface and a simple ifconifg shows only
the lo interface.
What is the correct way to get this de4x5 driver removed, the correct tulip one
installed WITHOUT loosing the eth0 interface so I can get networking working on
2 PC's.
Any way to do this with out remastering with changes to modules.conf and the
alias list for eth0
Looking for solutions to get the LIVE CD working, then to do a HD install from a
working environment.
Any way to get this updated in the CD so that other tulip based users can get
the correct driver installed for future releases.
Comments & suggestions please.
Thanks in advance.
