PCI Network card problem

[Harpune21]

I recently installed Redhat 7.2 on a compaq Presario 2240 and i am having some problems getting it to recognize my (netgear FA310 tx) network card. I have the correct 'tulip' drivers installed but i don't know what settings to set to get it to run. I need to know how to find the settings i need to change and how to configure my card after it is set up.
thanks, Mike

Gday mate,

The first thing you need to do is to make sure the tulip module is running. Do this by using the command:

lsmod

If it brings up tulip somewhere there, then it is loaded.

Next you will need to use "ifconfig" to configure your network adapter/card. Type in:

ifconfig -a

That should bring up eth0 (your network/ethernet adapter) and lo (loopback address).

Read up on the manpages for ifconfig:

man ifconfig

This should be enough information to get your card up and running. :)

Basic ifconfig config would be:

ifconfig <device> <ipaddress> <netmask>
Example:
ifconfig eth0 198.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0

Hope that helps.
