I've just recently moved on campus and am connected to the Ethernet. Windows works fine, but I can't find ANYTHING useful (not in the HOWTO's even) that helps me finding drivers to connect Linux to the Ethernet. (Already tried re-compiling Kernel) Websites? Advice? Ideas? Thanx

linuxconf networking basic host information fill in the blanks as per your equipment and network. If you can't figure that out, read more. Setting up networking works best without the GUI running to slow everything down. Go back to starting without X and learn some commands - like ls, cd, mv, cp, and their respective switches. The easiest editor to start with is pico. Learn where your config files are, go into them and snoop around. On the network card thing, you should be able to get it running with linuxconf, without rebooting the machine. On startup- do you get a "failure" message when "bringing up device eth0" ? If not, you haven't even told the kernel that you have a NIC in your machine- easily done with the steps at the beginning of this note. Good luck! Happy hacking

I got the same problem. But mine is really the drivers. I got a d-link fast ethernet controller, but i don't know how to install the sco-linux drivers (they should work for redhat too, isn't it?) . Any solutions? Please mail me AND post the follow up.
