[niravpatel]

Slackware 10.0 full install
Subject: Problem with NIC card in Slackware 10.0

Symptoms:
CODE
>ping <any reachable IP on network>
Network is not reachable
The same card is working as Realtek rtl8139 in Microsoft Windows 2000 professional, though initially it was detected as Asound, but I supplied the driver from the vendor supplied floppy, and it is working fine.

The same card was working in Slackware 9.1 with name AMD PC Net 2...

ok! let's start from the begning....

Here is what i have tried so far..
1. which NIC i have?

CODE
>lspci
01:0a.0 Ethernet controller: MYSON Technology Inc SURECOM EP-320X-S 100/10M Ethernet PCI Adapter

2. Then googled for the driver...found one match on

http://www.scyld.com/

3. Downloaded myson803.c and others { pci-scan.c, pci-scan.h, kern_compt.h } from the same site.

3. Compiled the myson803.c as per the instruction on the same site on page

http://www.scyld.com/modules.html

CODE
>gcc -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -O6 -c myson803.c
>

compiled successfully without any error!!!!!

4. try to insert the module into the kernel using

CODE
>insmod myson803.o
myson803.o: unresolved symbol pci_drv_unregister
myson803.o: unresolved symbol pci_drv_register
5. ?????

Some help would be appriciated, I don't want to downgrade to Slackware 9.1...

Hi there all,
Well, Slackware linux 10.0 comes with the driver! It's fealnx.o.gz. Ok, This sounds amazing but the solution what I have found is...here.
I am going through proxy for internet and it falls say 172.18.10.1. Now we have static IP on network and one can change the IP (too much flexible isn't it!).
When I set my IP in my proxy's range say in 172.18.10.x, I can access the internet but when I set my IP other than that like 172.18.19.x, I can't access internet as proxy is not reachable.
I am finding out the reason, but if any one knows pl post it here. I think may be it's due to some kind of firewall rules (IP chains/tables rules).....
TIA
Nirav
