Nic Problem

I have recently upgraded to version 3.2 professional and I am having problems with two network ports. I currently have one DEC based (eth0) network card for administration, one Compaq NC3122 Dual Port (Intel 100+ eth1&2) and one Compaq Netelligent (Texas Instruments eth3&4) dual port card. In 2.X I could use all five "interfaces" without a problem, but when I upgraded to 3.2 I was no longer able to acces the two netelligent ports, even after registering it to accomidate for the extra cards.

Under the device overview it only lists the first three cards, but all 5 are listed under the interface list. The only reason that they are there is because I imported them from a backup. [:(]cense? Thank you.

go to the console and look in /etc/modules.conf.

Are there lines for eth3 and eth4 ?

If you know the module name for the cards, add it there, then run /usr/local/bin/setitfhw.pl as root.

Post here if it helped or not [:)]

BTW the eval license lets you only have 3 defined interfaces, but we'll have a solution for that real soon.

Hi There,
I have the same problem as above, but i'm quite new to linux. Please could you let me what you set as your alias to in /etc/modules.conf and did you use any variables when you ran usr/local/bin/setitfhw.pl.

I know that my NIC is the following (from compaq.com):

PCI 0x0E11 0xB011 Compaq Netelligent 10/100TX Embedded UTP

Thanks very much.

that one should use the "tlan" driver.

in /etc/modules.conf add a line:

alias ethX tlan

where the X is the next free eth number.

then proceed as lined out above [:)]

Hi Tom,
I successfully changed the /etc/modules.conf file. But when i ran setitfhw.pl i received an error: 'Wrong parameters count Usage; /usr/local/bin/get_pci_vendor

I ran get_pci_vendor with the 0x0E11 0xB011 as the paramters and it returned Compaq Computer Corp Integrated Netelligent 10/100. But i can't get the original setitfhw.pl to run. Any ideas?
Thanks

Hello Again,

Ok i fixed the problem by swopping the entries round in the modules.conf file.

Thanks.
