some mix hardware questions/promblems....
i am booting knoppix 3.2...................everything goes well except there is not internet and sound..................
i have 2 network cards....1 is onboard VIA and the other is realtek PCI
so i went to the kde menu and clicked
knoppic -> network configuration -> network confifuration
2 network card popped up............ eth0, eth1.........i know one of them is my realtek just dont know which one....................so i entered my IP, subnet, DNS................but had no idea what my broadcast address is..........i entered the same info for both cards......none worked.........
here are my questions:
1) how do I find out which device (eth0, or eth1) is the realtek card?
2) how do i find out what my broadcast address is?
then there is the sound problem............
i read the previous posts.................but didnt find an anwser........
i have a SB live! value..................knippix detects the card upon booting from the cd room.......................but there is no sound when i tried playing some song in XMM...........the sound I/O is set on auto detect.......
i also did the sound configuration thing from the knoppix menu.........
the detection result was "5885 audioPCI card".......then it tried playin some sample file but i didnt hear a thing...............so i went to manual ............picked SB live........cant hear the sample still............picked SB AMU??...............no sound still..............
the system info from the kde menu tells me there is no info for the soundcard.................................so how do i fix this................?
thanks in advance......................

ifconfig

How do you connect to the internet? Do you have a Static I.P. address or DHCP?

In a shell type:
dmesg | grep eth

the broadcast adres is (AFAIK) your normal IP adres bitwise AND'ed with your netmask
so that means that is you have 192.168.1.45 for an IP adres, and 255.255.255.0 as your netmask, then your broadcast adres will become 192.168.1.255.
similarly, if your IP adres is 192.168.123.65 with netmask 255.255.0.0, then your broadcastadres will be 192.168.255.255
But you usually can just skip the broadcast adres, your computer will calculate it for you.
