Hi, I've managed to make Vector Linux detect my NIC at boot, according to netconfig it a com20020 NIC, the problem is that I cant get it to be eth0, when I type ifconfig I only see the local loopback connection.
Plase help

Try to installed it manually after booting.
Use the following command.

ifconfig eth0 IP_number

Then, type
ifconfig

If it is not in the summary, the driver is not the right one. If it is there, ping the IP. If it pings, i.e., something is wrong in the booting scripts. Possibly, modprobe or insmod calls.


Cheers,
