Hi Anil,

I'm catching up now to your earlier postings. Earlier you said you could not post some logs/output because it was not readable in Word or Notepad. That doesn't matter. In the Advanced Editor (of this forum!) click on the paper-clip and select the TXT extension and select the file to upload. We'll be able to see it just fine.

Back to your problem. The first question is: are your drivers working for this particular card? If you run /sbin/ifconfig -a and you see an eth0 device and you see a MAC address (that isn't all 0's), then the driver is working. Here's an example:

Code:

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:50:8B:D3:C9:14
          inet addr:0.0.0.0  Bcast:255.255.255.255  Mask:0.0.0.0
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1

Now that you have a second card in there, if your drivers are properly installed, you will see two ethernet devices.

Now, above at the top of your previous post quoted here, you say the instruction with the drivers claim they work with 2.4.18 and later. RHEL comes with 2.6 Linux, so there's no compatibility question there. The question is: are they correctly installed? You provided some instructions above, but they are not complete. Once you have extracted the package, you must do something. I downloaded the latest version, and the steps I took were as follows:

Code:

  gunzip xzf dge530t_driver_linux_610.tgz.gz
  tar xzf dge530t_driver_linux_610.tgz
  cd sk98lin
  make all
  insmod sk98lin.o

If you get no errors, do the "/sbin/ifconfig -a" command again and you should see the second ethernet device. Now, you want to run the dhclient with that device, which might now be named "eth1". So your command would be "dhclient eth1". (Make sure you have plugged the ethernet cable into the new interface!). If it's named "eth0" then it would be "dhclient eth0". How do you know which device is which? You run /sbin/lspci; the numbers are normally assigned in reverse order of those shown.

Once that works, you'll need to install the module into the right place and enable it for eth0 (to simplify future configuration, the second line below will force the device to operate as "eth0").

Code:

cp sk98lin.o /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net
echo "alias eth0 sk98lin" >>/etc/modules.conf
