setup:
DFI KM400-MLV mb
(Via KM400 + Via 8237)
AMD 2500+ Barton cpu
512MB DDR333 kingston
old cheap cdrw (memorex 4x2x24)
LG electronics DVD+/-RW + DVD-RAM --GSA4082B
Samsung SATA 120GB HDD SP1213C
onboard LAN and older Netgear 10/100 pci slot nic
Knoppix 3.4 ct edition
(WinXP has never defiled this machine ;-)
I'm running a firewall/NAT, with onboard as internal and netgear as external iface for iptables.
both nics work fine if I boot kernel 2.4, but only the internal works if I boot kernel 2.6
looking thru the output of lspci -v, lsmod, mii-tool -v, and dmesg (pertinent bits below) it seems that the card is detected just fine, but I'm missing the necessary tulip module for kernel 2.6. doing "locate tulip" lists source files for a "tulip.ko" for a 2.6 kernel module, but they are not actually on the CD (for reasons of space, I presume). The tulip.ko module iteslf is also not there, but a "tulip.o" module exists for 2.4 and is working just fine.
So, is this just an issue where I need to get the source and kompile the module, which was just left out of the 3.4 ct edition? Or is something else my problem.
I have yet to do a hdd install, as the 2.4 kernel doesn't recognize the Samsung SATA drive, but the 2.6 kernel does (but can't run my firewall) so I'm still flip flopping between the two trying to diagnose my problem.
BTW, despite the problems others have had with LG CD drives, I have had no issue with the LG electronics DVD RAM. I have not tried using it as +/- RW , but DVD RAM works as CD's and DVD's always should have. I simply did a "mkfs -t ext2 -j /dev/cdrom1" and now I have a 4.5GB ext3 filesystem that I can read and write just like a hdd (althogh slower, at about 3MB/sec)
if I boot "knoppix noapic lang=us floppyconf"
(kernel 2.4) both onboard and 2nd nic work fine
