I'm having troubles with Slackware 13.1 and network cards.
I have one on-board Ethernet card (which is recognized and works okay) and a PCI Ethernet card (which is also recognized, but doesn't appear in 'ifconfig -a'). If i run a 'lspci', i can see the kernel recognized the two cards:
But, when i run ifconfig, i only can see the Intel on-board card as eth0.
I remember that slackware 12.0, 12.1 and even 12.2 automatically recognized and configured the network cards, but this version seems to work different.
All lspci does is read IDs off the PCI bus and look up their names in a huge text file. It doesn't care which have drivers. If your honeywell card doesn't appear in ifconfig -a, it's not being recognized by a kernel driver. What exactly is the card? Going by the manufacturer, I doubt it's ordinary.
It could be that this is a supported chipset but has an unusual PCI ID which makes the driver not try to use it. You'll have to figure out which chipset this Honeywell card is using before you can try and coax a driver into recognizing it.
I am using Slackware 7 on my IBM Thinkpad. I am unable to configure it to display a graphical environment. Typing startx usually generates a few errors. The system, however, does boot into the shell environment without any issues or problems. I have been able to setup Slackware 7 successfully... (2 Replies)
Our shops server runs SCO Openserver 5 release 5. It has two network cards in it (one on 10.0.0.6 and one on 90.0.0.99). When I run scoadmin and look at the network settings it show both my 3com network cards and a loop back driver http://theentertainer.com/james/untitled.jpg

Hi,
I'm looking for a command to be able to disable a network card under the boot PROM.
I need it to force my Jumpstart to use the Ethernet card of my server (V880) instead of my fiber card (gem0).
Thanks,

Hi,
I'm looking for a command to be able to list all my network cards available on my server.
With the command "ifconfig - a", I can only see to configured network card(s)
Any idea ? :confused:
Thanks a lot for your help,

The title speaks for itself. I have never attempted this but understand there is a way to use two network cards (en0 and en1) with the same IP address so as to load balance the traffic flow through both cards. Anyone know the answer? (4 Replies)
Hi all,
I have a server running with Solaris and I have 2 Pci cards installed on this server (since a while), 1 with 4 coppers connections output and one with a Fiber network connection output.
Today, this server is using the on board network connection (Ce0).
How can I find the other... (7 Replies)
Hi All,
Hope you are all doing good.
In MY unix box i have 2 network cards. I want to know what if one network card fails. Does the second one will automatically take all the traffic or how it is supposed to work. Also in my logs i am seeing below errors . Can you throw some light of this qfe... (3 Replies)
Hi all
I hate networking, I hate everything to do with it. Its something I do in anger in one contract, then forget. This is more of a question / than a problem.
So, on a solaris 10 server, using older qfe cards, Ive got a sun truck with 4 nics (qfe0,3,4,7), and a ipmp pair (hemo0,qfe1).... (2 Replies)

sn
SN(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual SN(4)NAME
sn -- National Semiconductor DP83932 (SONIC) based Ethernet device driver
SYNOPSIS
arc
sn0 at jazzio?
mac68k
sn* at obio?
sn* at nubus?
DESCRIPTION
The sn interface provides access to a 10 Mb/s Ethernet network via the National Semiconductor DP83932 (SONIC) Ethernet chip set.
Each of the host's network addresses is specified at boot time with an SIOCSIFADDR ioctl(2). The sn interface employs the address resolution
protocol described in arp(4) to dynamically map between Internet and Ethernet addresses on the local network.
HARDWARE
arc
The sn driver supports on-board JAZZ based SONIC interfaces found on Acer PICA and NEC machines.
mac68k
The sn driver is currently known to support the following NuBus cards:
o Apple LC Twisted-pair (part #820-0532-A) PDS card
o Cayman Gatorcard PDS
o Dayna DaynaPort/E30
In addition, the sn interface supports the following interfaces:
o on-board Ethernet for non-AV Quadras
o on-board Ethernet for 500-series PowerBooks
o Apple CS Ethernet Twisted-pair card for Comm Slot found on LC575, Quadra 630, LC630, and Performa 580.
DIAGNOSTICS
sn%d: transmit FIFO underrun
sn%d: receive FIFO overrun
sn%d: receive buffer exceeded
sn%d: receive buffers exhausted
sn%d: receive descriptors exhausted These messages indicate that the interface gets errors (due to heavy load etc.) and reinitialized.
SEE ALSO arp(4), inet(4), netintro(4), ifconfig(8)HISTORY
The sn interface for mac68k, which was derived from a driver for old NetBSD/pica port, first appeared in NetBSD 1.3.
Jason Thorpe has rewritten a new machine independent SONIC driver which uses bus_dma(9) and bus_space(9) APIs after NetBSD 1.5 release, and
NetBSD/arc has been switched to using the machine independent (MI) driver.
NetBSD/mac68k has also been switched to using the MI driver after the NetBSD 4.0 release.
