please bare with me, im new to this distrobution, and pretty new to linux in general.

i built an extra computer out of spare parts, just wanted it as an extra box to access the internet, and maybe play an mp3 or two.
its socket 7 100mhz pentium with 128mb ram. no cdrom (i can hook one up if i have to) and no floppy. i used the box i am writing this on to set up the drive that is currently in the old(new) computer.

none of the gui utilities could configure the network card.
i googled the card, and found out that its supported... eepro is the module for it.
i dont know how to get it to work, and couldnt find a definate answer... i tried appending various lines to the end of various documents.... using  echo >> googleresults  file to be appened to.

any sugestions? i have other isa cards as well... and if i have to i could buy a pci nic that is supported by default. (i dont know which ones are).. although i dont want to spend money i dont have to.


thanks.

The way to get an isa NIC to work is to open a terminal window and type:

sudo su
modprobe name_of_your_module
netcardconfig
exit
exit

So, for your eepro, you would type:

sudo su
modprobe eepro
netcardconfig
exit
exit

Or if it is a eepro100, substitute "eepro100" for "eepro"
