Help! My machine is rendered nearly
inoperable by a hardware swap. It can't see my USB Ethernet interface and
it thinks my DVB card is an Ethernet card. How do I straighten it
out?
Background
=======
My machine had an Ethernet card. Everything
was fine. My objective was to remove the card, put a DVB card in the slot,
and use a USB Ethernet interface. What I did was install the USB Ethernet
dongle. It was autodetected at boot. I configured it and disabled
the installed card. At reboot, the default route was through the USB
interface. Everything was fine.
Next, I removed the Ethernet card and inserted
the DVB card. Upon boot, the Ethernet card was detected as missing, and
the DVB card was detected.
Unfortunately, (1) the machine thinks the DVB
card is and Ethernet card, and (2) The USB dongle is not detected as being
present (although its lights are on, I verified it as working on another
machine, and my USB kb & mouse work).
I'm running Fedora Core 3 on x86. Probably
a 2.6.10 kernel. If I could ssh in, I could tell for sure.
