linux mint 13 maya cannot connect to internet!
hello. im a total noob in linux and i have downloaded linux mint 13 maya. 32 bit. mate version.
instalation and everything went smooth but when i log in a sign tells me that im not connected to internet.
i have a wired modem.
the modem thing in the cpu is a tp-link tf 3200.
i have tried copying the configuration that appears in windows(in xp internet works) typing ipconfig. but its useless
then i found the installation cd of the modem and found something that i thought that would solve this but it didnt. i ran "uname -v" to check my kernel version and its 3.2 and in the readme there is only info for 2.4 and 2.6 versions... please help. you know that internet is important
thanks!
this is the readme of the modem cd

2. Driver Installation for Linux
-----------------------------------------
a. for kernel 2.4.x
a1. Redhat 7.3 (linux kernel 2.4.18)
a2. Mandrake 8.1 (kernel 2.4.8)
b. for kernel 2.6.x
c. automatically load and configure at next boot time
a.for kernel 2.4.x
-------------------
a1. Redhat 7.3 (linux kernel 2.4.18)
a1.1. install way 1:
#make all =>generate sundance.o
#cp sundance.o /lib/modules/2.4.18-3/kernel/drivers/net/
#insmod ./sundance.o
#ifconfig eth0 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx netmask yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy
eth0 is your network adapter,use "dmesg" to check it, ex: eth0, eth1...
xxx is your ip address, ex: 192.168.102.211
yyy is your netmask address, ex:255.255.255.0
a1.2. install way 2:
#make all =>generate sundance.o
#cp sundance.o /lib/modules/2.4.18-3/kernel/drivers/net/
#insmod./sundance.o
#setup
[network configuration] =>to setup your ip address
#ifup eth0
eth0 is your network adapter, ex: eth0, eth1...
a2. Mandrake 8.1 (kernel 2.4.8)
#make all => generate sundance.o
#cp sundance.o /lib/modules/2.4.8-26mdk/kernel/drivers/net
#insmod ./sundance.o
#ifconfig eth0 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx netmask yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy
eth0 is your network adapter,use "dmesg" to check it, ex: eth0, eth1...
xxx is your ip address, ex: 192.168.102.211
yyy is your netmask address, ex:255.255.255.0
b. for kernel 2.6.x
-------------------
#make all => generate sundance.ko
#insmod ./sundance.ko (or sundance.o)
#ifconfig eth0 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx netmask yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy
eth0 is your network adapter,use "dmesg" to check it, ex: eth0, eth1...
xxx is your ip address, ex: 192.168.102.211
yyy is your netmask address, ex:255.255.255.0
c. automatically load and configure at next boot time
-----------------------------------------------------
c1. cp sundance.o /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net
*note: The `uname -r` is a command. Don't replace `uname -r` with
2.4.18, 2.4.20smp, or some others. Must type `uname -r` directly.
c2. Add the following lines at /etc/modules.conf:
alias eth0 sundance
options sundance <optional parameters>
c3. Run "netconfig" or "netconf" to create configuration script
ifcfg-eth0 located at /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts or
create it manually.
[see - Configuration Script Sample]
c4. Driver will automatically load and configure at
next boot time.
c5. Configuration Script Sample
===========================
Here is a sample of a simple configuration script:
DEVICE=eth0
USERCTL=no
ONBOOT=yes
POOTPROTO=none
BROADCAST=207.200.5.255
NETWORK=207.200.5.0
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
IPADDR=207.200.5.2
3. Driver Parameter
-------------------
If you want to change the link speed, you could use parameter after
insmod command.
insmod sundance.o <optional parameter> ; add parameter
========================================================================
example: insmod sundance.o media=100mbps_hd
or insmod sundance.o media=3
or insmod sundance.o media=1,2,3,4 ; for 4 cards or IP100
========================================================================
Parameter Description
=====================
You can install this driver without any addtional parameter. However, if
you are going to have extensive functions then it is necessary to set
extra parameter. Below is a list of the command line parameters supported
by the Linux device driver.
media=xxxxxxxxx - Specifies the media type the NIC operates at.
autosense Autosensing active media.
10mbps_hd 10Mbps half duplex.
10mbps_fd 10Mbps full duplex.
100mbps_hd 100Mbps half duplex.
100mbps_fd 100Mbps full duplex.
0 Autosensing active media.
1 10Mbps half duplex.
2 10Mbps full duplex.
3 100Mbps half duplex.
4 100Mbps full duplex.
By default, the copper devices operate at
autosense, the fiber devices operate at
100Mbps full duplex.
Note that, the fiber adapter only support
100Mbps half/full duplex types.
If wanting to change speed, this driver needed to be unloaded and reloaded with
new media parameter. Use rmmod to unload and insmod to reload driver.
========================================================================
example: rmmod sundance.o
insmod sundance.o media=3
========================================================================
flowctrl=[0|1] - Specifies the flow control function.
0 Disable flow control.
1 Enable flow control.
4. None EEPROM
--------------
If you want to use none eeprom solution. Please put EEPROM EEDO pin to GND.
And, please add following -DNO_EEPROM define in Makefile, and re-compile again.
MAPPING_MODE= -DUSE_IO_OPS -DNO_EEPROM
5. EEPROM MP (OEM Only)
-----------------------
This is a special tool for OEM embedded system to burn eeprom value with
MAC address. It is not for normal user. If you need this tool, please contact
us directly. Thanks.
5.1. unzip mp.zip and put 'mp directory' in the same directory with
sundance_main.c
5.2. Change Makefile:
Form: "MAPPING_MODE= -DUSE_IO_OPS"
To: "MAPPING_MODE= -DUSE_IO_OPS -DMP_EEPROM"
Rebuild and load driver
5.3. Read MAC address form EEPROM
#cat /proc/ICPlus_eth0/IPF_EEPROM
5.4. Write MAC address to EEPROM
#echo "001122334455">/proc/ICPlus_eth0/IPF_EEPROM
5.5. Convert EEPROM.TXT to eeprom_data.h
run eep_cvrt.exe will convert EEPROM.txt to eeprom_data.h for linux driver
use.
and the folders mentioned in auto configuration dont exist and i dont know how to creat a configuration script
ohh btw this are the files in the cd:
compat
sundance_main
mii
mii
ethtool
