[tulip] - Newbie - Problems with installing the tulip.o modul

[David Kramer]

Donald thank you so much for your help I have spent almost two months trying
to get this network card installed.  But I am still a little unclear on
exactly what we just did.  

I ran the ifup eth0 first and it returned usage: ifup <device name> not sure
why it didnt recognize it.  After I ran the other command ifconfig eth0
192.168.1.1 and then ifconfig it found the eth0.  Does the ifconfig eth0....
assign a specific IP address to the eth0 interface? And why use 192.168.1.1?
I dont really understand that command?  Also will I need to reassign the
eth0 everytime after a reboot or will it be done automatically?  I am
assuming if the answer is no, then I must set a config file or something so
it does set the eth0 automatically.  Sorry to ask so many questions I just
want to understand what exactly we just did.

Thanks again,

David

OK, it's presumably working.

You should now configure it with
   ifup eth0
or
   ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.1
