Re: lan card problem

There are many LAN drivers. You'll have to add the correct driver to the kernel and reboot. Then the card will be detected by ioscan and be assigned a device file. The LAN drivers are located on your Core/Install CD or your Application CD, depending on how old your system and CDs might be.

Re: lan card problem

Hi:

You are missing the drivers for your particular lan card. In most cases the software is located on Disk 1 of any Applications CD set. After you install the drivers using swinstall the system will reboot and you should then see your lan card via lanscan.

If it ain't broke, I can fix that.

Re: lan card problem

hi,

check the type of this lan card:
ioscan -nkfClan
-> see whether it is a 100BT - pci or HP-pb etc.

Then, check whether you have the driver for the card, by doing swlist -l product |grep 100

If not present, install it using the application CD (it will need a reboot of the system). That should take care of it.

Re: lan card problem

Hello,
Just go into the /etc/rc.config.d/netconf file.

INTERFACE_NAME[0]="lan0"
IP_ADDRESS[0]="172.16.1.229"
SUBNET_MASK[0]=255.255.0.0
BROADCAST_ADDRESS[0]=""
INTERFACE_STATE[0]=""
DHCP_ENABLE[0]=0
Look into the parameter above,
0(zero)is the first interface.If you have already configured the first interface just copy the lines and change '0' to '1' like

INTERFACE_NAME[1]="lan1"
IP_ADDRESS[1]="ipaddress"
SUBNET_MASK[1]=subnet mask
BROADCAST_ADDRESS[1]=""
INTERFACE_STATE[1]=""
DHCP_ENABLE[1]=0
Just change the values accordingly to your network.
Caution;If you have two cards on the machine with the first one running properly
Just copy the above lines and paste it seperately and change the parameters.
Then do a
/sbin/init.d/net stop
/sbin/init.d/net start.

If you are configuring the network for the first time then you can use
set_parms initial to configure your network instead using the above file.
