Hello

I have an old LapTop, Dell Latitude, with LinkSys
10/100 EtherFast Card. Worked on start up with
Red Hat 7.3.
Recently, upgraded to Fedora Core 2, via someones
server install. Fedora 2 works well, except can no longer access
the Internet via Mozilla.
Obviously lost driver (or config) for Ether card and
cannot connect to 'Net.

- How to confirm that generic driver is available?
- How to configure system for DHCP connect?
(If can't connect to Net, how to get Driver, if needed?)

Recognize that driver may be on machine but not loaded
or machine not config properly?
Any comments

My LinkSys desktop card uses the tulip driver, but FC installer should have been able to check for that. tulip.o is a commonly compiled module with distributions.

DHCP in FC2 is handled by dhclient
check your /etc/resolv.conf and verify there are nameservers listed

lsmod will list the installed modules, make sure tulip is in there, if not try "modprobe tulip"
