    yes, Kanotix 2005-02 really uses Kernel 2.6.11-kanotix-7

    Here is some more info from the running Kanotix:

    dmesg

    eth0: Digital DS21143 Tulip rev 65 at 0001e880, 00:40:F6:4C:64:1D, IRQ 11.

    I hope this will be helpful for you!

    I just want to be sure, so that we are comparing apples to apples.


    It appears thats a different tulip driver and version than whats being used in Knoppix. Which would explain why modprobe tulip may load the module it doesn't create a working eth0 device.

    I think in Knoppix that the auto detect needs to be set to use the de2104x for the tulip based cards, and that NODCHP also should be auto set for 2104x cards.

    From my tests it appears that tulip based cards and the DHCP client on Knoppix will not work even though it appears to get a valid DHCP packet, under 2.6.x kernel. In 2.4 this is fine upto Knoppix V3.7.

    I decided to try just:

    rmmod de4x5
    modprobe de2104x
    ifconfig eth0 up

    THEN run the netcardconfig script select NO on use DHCP, and it works fine!

    I noticed that Kanotix has a different procedure to check the eth0 device than Knoppix, but it works very fine, and Kanotix is just like Knoppix; I can use the same home directory on my HD. It also has a better hardware detection for my soundcard, so I like Kanotix!

    I will try your proposal later and hope it will work with my hardware and Knoppix 3.8 as simple as you show.

    Knoppix 3.8.2 under VPC 7 for OS X

    This worked for me under Virtual PC v7 for Mac OS X:
    Code:
    boot: knoppix nodhcp 1
    rmmod tulip
    modprobe de2104x
    pump -i eth0
    init 5
    VPC presents a virtual NIC to Knoppix as a DECchip 21041 card
    Code:
    # lspci -v -s 00:0a.0
    0000:00:0a.0 Ethernet controller: Digital Equipment Corporation DECchip 21041 [Tulip Pass 3] (rev 11)
            Flags: medium devsel, IRQ 11
            I/O ports at ec00 [disabled] [size=128]
            Memory at febff000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [disabled] [size=4K]
            Expansion ROM at febfe800 [disabled] [size=2K]

    Code:
    boot: knoppix nodhcp 1
    rmmod tulip
    modprobe de2104x
    pump -k
    pump -i eth0
    init 5
