Mi ethernet card is : intel 855x-based ethernet PCI (10/100)
IRQ = 22

Paste in here the part about your Ethernet controller from the command lspci -v

Also have you ran netcardconfig? Should also be under the Knoppix menu item.

Here the result of lspci -v

I ran the program that you said but the message is as the subject

thanks...... frank

[Markus]

Does the command lsmod list a e100 or eepro100 module. If not, try first sudo modprobe eepro100 and if netcardconfig still doesn't work, try with e100.

[gonzalezmfrank]

thanks a lot.... it works.....it persistent ?...... if the answer is no.... how can i do that module persistent in my configuration... the another quiestion is....I saw that in 3.8.1 root is disable to startup, how can i make rot enable for root

[Markus]

I need help from someone who actually runs knoppix on the hd. Does knoppix use /etc/modules-$(uname -r) or modules.conf or modutils or what?
You add it to the file that loads the modules and run update-modules. I just don't know what file(s) knoppix uses for it.
You can also try adding it with sudo modconf

Do you mean root login to KDE? You should NOT login as root to KDE, instead use su, sux or kdesu.

[gonzalezmfrank]

Markus.

I know you said, in Knoppix 3.4 (my installed old version ), permits me to login like root and with a diferent user, in that version of knoppix I had to execute "netcardconfig" to start eth0, this is my actual problem. In Knoppix 3.8 the situation is the same, and I really don't like to do it each time

Thanks a lot..... Frank

[Markus]

Hmm, not sure if I'm the right person to answer this since I've never had any networking problems with knoppix/kanotix.
When you boot up now, is the NIC recognised?
What does ifconfig say before running netcardconfig?
Does "ifup eth0" help? If not, do "pump -i eth0" after and check the network.
If ifup and pump make it work, you might as well put those lines at the end of /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh

About logging in as root, you have to open a console anyway to run netcardconfig, so why not su first and then run it, or use "sudo netcardconfig"

[gonzalezmfrank]

I don't like to manage the bootmisc.sh..... is too deep to me.

But if I run "modconf" and select eepro100, for my netcard...... it configure all the next sessions ? or i have to execute "modconf" each session ?

If I run "update-modules", It make the change permanent ?

I can believe that exist a way to recognize and up the card without the comands by user..... but how i said at the begining ... i am a new user

[Markus]

Modconf should make it permanent, so that's what I'd do since I'm not sure which file knoppix loads modules from. You could probably just make a file under /etc/modutils.d but modconf is easier.

[gonzalezmfrank]

IT WORKS ..... thanks a lot.... with modconf is easy and persistent..... in fact if you know which module you have to load first
