Hi,
I just installed (Frugal install) DSL on my very old Toshiba Satellite 2540CDS laptop.
Some specs:
333MHz AMD K6-2 processor,
HDD (2.5” Enhanced IDE) 4.3 billion bytes.
It has only 64MB of RAM but I am planning to buy 128MB RAM for it.
I could connect to the Internet with it by using the single USB port it has.
When a Debian GNU/Linux system was running on this laptop I had used an USB Ethernet adapter for the Internet connection.
This hardware uses the pegasus kernel module.
Edited:
If I do
modprobe pegasus
nothing happen.
In the /etc/network/interfaces file I have these lines:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
iface eth1 inet dhcp
allow-hotplug eth1
In the /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules I have this line:
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?", ATTR{dev_id}=="0x0", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME=="eth1"
When I do
/etc/init.d/networking start
I get:
Setting up IP spoofing protection: rp_filter.
Configuring network interfaces... done.
But
ifconfig -a
gives only the loopback interface, namely lo.
Why I can't create the eth1 interface?
How can I setup this adapter on DSL?
Best, Paul
