I recently installed Fedora (kernel version
2.4.22-1.2115.nptl) on my IBM Thinkpad T21. It ran great. It also ran great
under Redhat 9.
Then I installed the 2.6 kernel using
up2date. The new kernel is 2.6.1-1.141. My problem is that now the Ethernet card
doesn't seem to be detected. When I reboot to kernel 2.6 kudzu comes up asks to
remove this card (but I tell it to keep it).
When I try to
start Ethernet manually in the network configuration utility it fails.
Also in the
network configuration utility, under Hardware Device, I see MAC address
ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff, and probe can't find it.
In
modprobe.conf there is the line "alias eth0 3c59x".
I've tried removing it and adding it in the network
configuration utility, with no luck.
In Hardware Browser, the system does detect the card,
as a 3c556B Hurricane Cardbus, driver = 3c59x.
In /lib/modules/2.6.1-1.141/kernel/drivers/net there is
a file named 3c59x.ko.
Any
ideas?
Thanks much in
advance.
