Network connectivity in Virtual PC (DEC 21140)Forum: Networking Topic: Network connectivity in Virtual PC (DEC 21140) started by: webappsec Posted by webappsec on April 09 2006,09:59
I'm new to DSL. I'm running DSL 2.4.26 as a hard-disk install within a VirtualPC installation. The install works 100% fine EXCEPT I cannot get the DEC 21140 network card recognised.-------------------- lspci -v shows: 0000:00:0a.0 Ethernet controller: Digital Corporation DECchip 21140 [FasterNet] (rev 20) Subsystem: Unknown device 0a00:2114 Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 11 I/O ports at ec00 [size=128] Memory at febff000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4k] Expansion ROM at febfe800 [disabled][size=2k=] --------------------- I've turned off acpi via BIOS (but this was after the install). I also _think_ that the DEC drivers are the same as the "Tulip" drivers. --------------------- However, ifconfig just shows the following: lo Link encap:local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask 255.0.0.0 etc etc. --------------------- There is no eth0 showing. Another source of personal confusion is that running "netcardconfig" responds as follows: --------------------- Sending DHCP broadcast from Device eth0 OK. auto lo eth0 --------------------- That's it ! Can anyone provide me with some pearls of wisdom. I will really appreciate any help. Best regards, |
