I need to manually install a network card that was not detected upon install. It hanged forever...so I bypassed by not having it inside...then after all clean instal of mandrake 8.1...i tried to reboot with card in...for auto detect...but hangs....then stops boot and crashes....so read all forums...and I have tried a few things...to no avail...I need to know why xircom 10/100 network card is not being detected properly.I have an onboard 3com card that does not work properly either...but gets detected...Dell told me the comp had not eth card...but i saw the slot and there is something there...although maybe they removed the bus inside...anyways...tried to display inof from the ifconfig and got
eth0 and lo showing up...but from boot...and network connect ( to up and running linksys router and manual ip config of 192.168.1.99) i get no ping response of router 192.168.1.1 host unreachable...so I think the onboard card is no good...but they left it in...so I have a xircom be-2000 10/100 and it keeps hanging on boot or insertion especially from boot where it says executing modprobe xirc2ps_cs then dies...please help...I would like to also get rid of my windows partitions someday!!!
