network card in debian

[iphitus]

I know this card uses the tulip driver, mandrake, peanut and my LFS worked with it. I'm running kernel 2.2.20, 2.4 install didn't work, it came up with a ramdisk error. Can I apt-get install the 2.4? Or can I just download the 2.4 kernel .deb then install that or will it have deps?

 

I get the following:

 

(none):/home/james# modprobe tulip

/lib/modules/2.2.20-idepci/net/tulip.o: init_module: Device or resource

busy

Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters,

including invalid IO or IRQ parameters

/lib/modules/2.2.20-idepci/net/tulip.o: insmod

/lib/modules/2.2.20-idepci/net/tulip.o failed

/lib/modules/2.2.20-idepci/net/tulip.o: insmod tulip failed

 

(none):/home/james# insmod tulip

Using /lib/modules/2.2.20-idepci/net/tulip.o

/lib/modules/2.2.20-idepci/net/tulip.o: unresolved symbol

/lib/modules/2.2.20-idepci/net/tulip.o:

Hint: You are trying to load a module without a GPL compatible license

and it has unresolved symbols. Contact the module supplier for

assistance, only they can help you.

 

The driver is GPL in 2.4, i know that much.

any suggestions?

 

Thanks in advance

try installing w/ bf24 so the initial install will be 2.4 w/ ext3 file support.

yeah, i couldn't install with 2.4, didn't work

 

Anyway i downloaded 2.4 deb in mandrake and installed it, now it works :)
