NIC setup?

[Robert Judd]

Hi-- newbie here, just installed 1.0 on an older Cyrix
6x86--successfully, except: the NIC is not showing up in the network
config. area, and the connection wizard says I don't have one. How
should I go about getting the OS to "find" it? Thanks in advance for
your help...

I was able to locate
http://kb.corel.com/kbdocs/UNKNOWN/CLD10ENG0/CLD10ENG0_201572.htm,

"Why is my network card not recognized by Corel® LINUX®?"

The link (below) to the PDF no longer works -- any further assistance re
configuring my SMC etherez network adaptor would be gratefully received.

Thanks in advance, all, for your assistance.

Problem

Why is my network card not recognized by Corel® LINUX®?

Answer:

The network adapter may not be supported under the Linux OS. To verify
the network card's
compatibility, go to:

http://linux.corel.com/products/linux_os/hardware.htm

If the network adapter is on the compatibility list, refer to the
Configuring a Network Adapter
document.

Ok, found the next page, "how to configure".

I tried modconf but did not reach the prompt asking for io and irq --
when I selected my card (smc-ultra.o), it just sent me back.

So I tried editing the modules file and added the line per the
directions as follows:

smc-ultra.o io=0x220 irq=10

nothing changed -- no error messages, no network card identified.

I edited the line to

auto smc-ultra.o ...

no success.

I edited the line to

auto /lib/modules/2.2.16/smc-ultra.o ...

no success.

If anyone can see the problem here I'd appreciate your assistance.

Thanks,
Bob
