RE: [Wlug] FW: MN-130?

by Jerome Walczak

Not just yet. I'm in the process of downloading & burning some cd's which (hopefully) will allow me to upgrade the current installation - I'm going to try to go from FC 1 to FC 3 - the cd's I burnt before didn't boot & didn't work ... If the new version doesn't work or I can't get it to install right I'll swap out the MN card for another one I have spare ... Can anyone give me a quick explanation of why the SRPMS cd's didn't boot? I haven't tried any other distros yet with this system but I'm thinking it may be a good idea. -----Original Message----- From: wlug-bounces(a)mail.wlug.org [mailto:wlug-bounces@mail.wlug.org] On Behalf Of Jared Greenwald Sent: Friday, April 22, 2005 9:36 PM To: Worcester Linux Users Group Subject: Re: [Wlug] FW: MN-130?

Uses the prism 2 chipset, or maybe just prism, but either way its a standard (to myknowledge) chipset found on linksys cards. So under normal circumstances you should be able to use the tulip module to get this to work. But of course microsoft had to go in and put in their 2 cents and screw it up for everyone. Apparently the I/O address built onto the card was changed so you have to rewrite the tulip module manually in order to get it to work. To begin insert the following line at line 201 (its a function I beleive) of the tulip module source code (tulip_core.c) " {0x1414, 0x0002, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0, COMET}, " save and do the following commands. cd /usr/src/linux**** #(**** = kernel number) make dep make modules make modules_install do a restart and everything should be ok right now I'm using mine in slackware so I know it works. --- I got this from linuxquestions.org ...

It would really have to depend on the chipset that is on the card. Can you run lspci?

I believe you can grab a newer kernel although it would prob be an FC3 (Fedora Core 3) kernel. I personally haven't used Fedora much so I'm not sure. Have you tried googling that name?

FW: MN-130?

by Jerome Walczak

OK here we go - I'm a Linux newbie &'ve used Mandrake in the past occasionally but that's about it. I've installed Fedora 1 on an old computer at work but it has an MN-130 network card & the system isn't recognizing that it's there. According to a couple articles I've checked I need to edit the Tulip driver (tulip_core.c) & add a line of code at line 201. I did this and then checked the dependencies & typed modules_install & restarted the system & STILL the network card didn't show up. What am I doing wrong? Does anyone have any advice to get me out of this frustration? I'm very close to swapping out the card for another one that's more likely to work but I'd like to avoid that if possible ...
