Hi,
I m rather new to Linux and using the debian 3.0 (woody) distribution. I =
want to use my C-net Pro120WL ethernet card for dsl but it just won't =
work.
The chip is Macronix MXIC 987x5 (sais lspci) so it should work with the =
Tulip driver. As I am using kernel 2.4.7
I chose the driver to be compiled as a module. I 'inserted' the driver =
with the debian 'modconf'- but I had no eth0
device in /dev.=20
Running "tulip-diag -a" gives the following:
