Linksys USB100TX Nic install...

[kid8821]

Hey all,

Well, my onboard NIC seems to have died a horrible death, as it is no longer responding to anything, so I have a Linksys USB100tx nic here that I'm trying to use to get online in Suse 9.0 with the 2.6.2 kernel.

Problem is that I don't seem to have much of a clue about how to install the thing (ie, what module to use so I could modprobe, etc.). What do I need to do to get this thing going?

I've googled a bit and pegasus seems to pop up a lot, but the posts it pops up in are pretty old (2000-01 ish) and I'm not sure how to install whatever driver I would need.

Thanks.

Did you enable the pegasus wireless module when you compiled the 2.6 kernel?

After booting to the 2.6 kernel, is it loaded?

lsmod (list loaded modules)

If not, try loading

modprobe pegasus

and then

lsmod

again (both as root).

It would seem the pegasus module is also included with the SuSE 9.0 stock 2.4 kernels.

That did it. Thanks a bunch :-)
