Just downloaded DSL 4.2.2 and installed it on an old 600MHz machine (install to disk). I cant get DHCP to work. I think the card is being recognized by DSL.

ifconfig -a shows eth0 with MAC address. lo is also shown. However, when I change settings to DHCP in netcardconf, none of the settings are being saved.

I'm a noob - any ideas as to what I can do to get it to work? I googled the card and added "8139too" to /etc/modules.conf
This gives the error during boot "modules.conf is newer than..."

Any ideas? Thanks for your help!

What's the output of `lspci -v` and `lsmod` (or copy your System Stats here)
Maybe try `killall pump; rmmod 8139too; modprobe 8139too` before configuring your card?

Thanks for your help. I'll post the parts related to the NIC only (i'm typing it up). BTW, can't figure out how to just plug in a USB  flash drive and have the icon appear on the screen so I can copy and paste into it.

Results of lspci -v:

00:0f.0 Ethernet controller: Accton Technology Corporation SMC2-1211TX (rev 10)
       Subsystem: Accton Technol)ogy Corporation EN-1207D Fast Ethernet Adapter
       Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 10
       I/O ports at 1400 [size=256]
       Memory at f4000000 (32-bit, non prefetchable) [size=256]
       Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 1
       Kernel modules: 8139too


Results of lsmod:
8139too     13768     0 (rest of the fields are blank)

ifconfig shows "lo" but not "eth0"
ifconfig -a shows both "lo" and "eth0"


ifup eth0 gives me:
ifup: Ignoring unknown interface eth0


I tried the "killallpump... etc" but no luck. I can't get the settings to save in netcardconf. No luck pinging the router or google.com.

To get rid of the error, run "sudo depmod -a"

Try manually and see if there are any errors? pump -i eth0

# sudo depmod -a
depmod: /lib/modules/2.4.31/modules.dep~ is not an ELF file
# pump -i eth0
Operation failed.
# ifup eth0
ifup: Ignoring unknown interface eth0

However, ifconfig now shows both eth0 and lo
