[Devil-Linux-discuss] problem with NIC "Compex RL 2000A"

[Martin T. <mar...@gm...>]

Hello,

I wanted to switch the OS on a router (PC) from Win98SE to Devil-Linux.
Everything was going fine, until I started 'pppoe-start'.
"............TIMED OUT"
I think, that the problem is the NIC, which seems not working.
The following two NICs are built in the PC:

"Compex RL2000A Adapter" (WAN, PCI)
MAC: 00-80-48-C2-8A-81

"3Com EtherLink III ISA 3C509b-Combo" (LAN, ISA)
MAC: 00-A0-24-87-3A-37

As I read on some sites in the WWW, I need the ne2k-pci driver for the RL2000, and the module is loaded, but not used...?
Btw: The 3C509 works fine, ping and SSH in the LAN are working.
He just don't use the ne2k-pci driver and I don't know why...
Can anybody help me (apart from proposing to buy a new / use another NIC)?

Thx,
Martin
