Networking :: Help!

But is this the same computer? Note that small-form-factor PCI network cards are notorious for pretending that it is plugged-in when in fact it is not. Yes you see an indicator light, but that does not mean it is plugged-in properly. I should know; it took me three weeks to find out on mine.

Here is a recapitulation of all that I have done:

OS: Damn small linux
CPU: 133mhz
HD: 1GB
RAM: ?
Ethernet Card: JAHT JN-110R PCI

lsmod:

dmesg:

ifconfig:

Code Sample

I downloaded and compiled dhcpcd, then:

Code Sample

modprobe 8139too
dhcpcd eth0

I also tried:

Code Sample

dhcpcd -HD eth0

and

Code Sample

pump

Took awhile, but it didn't work. No output. Still no net.

NM, problem solved.

So what was the solution?

I un-plugged it and plugged it into a new pci slot. Maybe the first slot had dirt in it or something
