Guest penguinview Posted July 13, 2004 Report Share Posted July 13, 2004 I just installed Mandrake 10.0 official release and noticed that all went well except that my 3com 905 NIC does not work. It detects as a 3c59x in modules.conf, but does not load. I tried making it 3c90x, but still does not work. This just does not seem cool!!!! I read a post about someone else that had the same problem and fixed it by doing a total reinstall without the hotplugging feature. Is there a way to disable this with out having to do a total reinstall? Any help would be greatly appreciated, David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoopy Posted July 13, 2004 Report Share Posted July 13, 2004 Did you try installing the updates ? Don't know if this was in any of the fixes, but there's a few drake packages (such as drakxtools) in the updates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feralertx Posted July 13, 2004 Report Share Posted July 13, 2004 I have the same nic and works fine now. I remember having some issues when i first installed 10.0 OE but after the updates the problem was gone. Do as scoopy said, install the updates, and if still doesnt work afterwards i'll be glad to post my config files (modules.conf and others) to help you out.

I am interested in any config files to help me configuring it. No problem, but have you tried doing the updates first? Just tell me the files you want to see and ill post them, or if anyone else knows which ones are needed please let me know. I really do not know what files you need nor where the problem is, all the references ive seen to the nic in both of my "/etc/modprobe.conf" and "/etc/modules.conf" files is this line: alias eth0 3c59x but i dont think it does anything at all, -apart that i think i might have added the line myself while playing around with this files- :woops: I know, not really helpful, but , as i said, if anyone knows where to look for, ill post the contents of the files here.
