[UUG/MLUG] setting up ethernet - Redhat 6.1 & SMC EZ Card 10

["Jeremy" <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

hiya hiya hiya hey hey hidey ho..

 

i just joined this list earlier today....

 

my question/dilemma::..  I am using an SMC EZ Card 10 pci ethernet card & Redhat 6.1 and want to connect to the network here on campus, however, it appears there is a driver problem or a driver missing.  During installation of Redhat i had DHCP attempt to detect settings, but that failed & i have tried using both pump and dhcpcd from the terminal after redhat was installed & setup to gather network information via dhcp & initialize eth0 but with no luck.  I am dual booting win & linux and the card works fine in win so i know the problem is not a hardware issue but a driver/software config issue.  i have installed the dhcpcd rpm referred to @

https://iats.missouri.edu/servlets/knowledgebase/article/11021  but the code on this page has changed slightly in redhat 6.1 and so i need to go a different route in fixing the problem. so far i hav heard that i possibly will hav to obtain new driver & recompile the kernel.  Plees do not take any knowledge on my part for granted when responding to this as i am somewhat (tho not completely) new to linux!

 

btw, im located @ 4th floor of Wolpers

 

 

thanks
