[oclug] I found a driver and that's a start

[Dave Edwards]

Hey Gang,

Well, I've done some reading, and my current diagnosis is that eth0 will
appear in /proc/net/dev only when the NIC is fully recognized and
configured.   /etc/sysconfig/hwconf includes this:

class: NETWORK
bus: PCI
detached: 0
device: eth
driver: unknown
desc: "VIA Technologies|unknown device 1106:3065"
vendorId: 1106
deviceId: 3065
pciType: 1
-  
but that won't do.   Likewise, ifconfig won't load the appropriate module.

I installed the NIC in a different PCI slot today, just to eliminate that
variable.  No luck.

So, is there a way I can let the system know about this NIC, i.e.
do what  kudzu isn't doing?  Thanks,

Dave.
