RE: [IPCop-user] NIC's

[Aad S. <apj...@hc...>]

Tried every suggestion. Doesn't work for me. It is impossible to to
install ipcop without having configured a NIC.
Think I buy some of the mentioned cards in the HCL.
Thanks anyway

See:

Your 3c595 should of been detected and the Corkscrew driver used. As for
the 
Compaq card, I don't know. There's only one Compaq driver mentioned on
the 
above page.

You can try manually selecting the Corkscrew and Compaq Netelligent
drivers 
instead of using Autodetect. If they don't work no harm will be done.

Otherwise login as root and try installing the drivers with insmod eg:

insmod 3c59x.o

If you get no errors then the driver should be working. The drivers are 
specified in /var/ipcop/ethernet/settings.
