2x4b529p : 26/11/01 02:40 AM : Incident created -   I recently purchased a FA311 Netgear LAN Adapter, now everytime i boot linux it says something about file dependencies that dont exist, it wants a driver i have no idea how to get, the only drivers i have are the ones included with the disk i got with the card, i know nothing about compiling or installing them into the kernel, please help?
Linegod_7611 : 26/11/01 06:53 AM : Reply received -   If you could give the details of the error, I may be able to assist. You might also try running 'kudzu' from a console as root to try to detect the card.
2x4b529p : 26/11/01 09:45 AM : More info provided -   god the windows way was so much easier, anyway, i managed to get rid of the error messages, now i just cant get it to work at all, it seems not to accept the drivers i got with the card, i goto the net drivers directory, all the files are ending with .o.gz, not just .o, i dont even know how to install the driver, kunduz just flashes my floppy light and does nothing, have i miss something?
2x4b529p : 26/11/01 10:48 AM : More info provided -   well, i downloaded the new kernel because i noted it made references to my net card, installed, now i get EBDA too big upon boot up, how do i fix this one
2x4b529p : 26/11/01 10:50 PM : More info provided -   well, i got edba fixed, now my net card module says, failed parm, irq, but the card is on irq 4, with nothing else using it, also netconf isn't seeing the additional netcard module, how can i fix that one
