RE: [leaf-user] Problems detecting NIC's

[Stefaan V. D. <st...@ko...>]

Problem solved.
I downloaded drivers from
ftp://ftp.dlink.co.uk/pub/adapters/dfe-530tx/linux_dlkfet-4.24.tar.gz
Compiled them on a test machine I found (different kernel, but also 2.2),
put them on the DOC, changed nessecary configs et voilla !!!
Module is called "rhinefet.o" by DLINK instead of via-rhine.o

So if anyone is having problems to get those nic's working, use the drivers
provided by DLINK.

Not unless you have updated source code to do this with. Knoppix is running
a 2.4.x kernel like Bering does, while Dachstein is running a 2.2.x kernel 
which is no longer being updated. I can't say that I've heard of problems
with these cards before, might it be a problem with the particular box 
you are using instead of the NIC's?
