I'm building a Linux box to act as Proxy/Router/Firewall. I'm using CentOS 4.5, with an "old" motherboard (Asus A8V-X), and two Ethernet NIC, based on a realtek chip, that's widely supported under 2.4 and later kernel (the cards were functioning excellent in another PC whit Fedora Core 1). CentOS detects the on board LAN, but not the other two, in fact, knoppix 5.0.1 doesn't detect too (kernel 2.6.17), but, Knoppix 5.1.1 (kernel 2.6.19) detects all three cards. Do you have any idea why this behavior? Centos 5.0 detects all three too, but I don't now why, my firewall script (ipv4) doesn't work with this release. Now, thank you very much! Best Regards.

Look in your fedora fc1 or knoppix witch module was loaded for your two nic. Then try a # modprobe <your_module_name_here> then # dmesg to look if both nics where recognized. If so you have to update your modprobe.conf Alain Regards On 10/22/07, Linux Man <linuxman.uru at gmail.com> wrote:> I'm building a Linux box to act as Proxy/Router/Firewall. > I'm using CentOS 4.5, with an "old" motherboard (Asus A8V-X), and two > Ethernet NIC, based on a realtek chip, that's widely supported under > 2.4 and later kernel (the cards were functioning excellent in another > PC whit Fedora Core 1). > CentOS detects the on board LAN, but not the other two, in fact, > knoppix 5.0.1 doesn't detect too (kernel 2.6.17), but, Knoppix 5.1.1 > (kernel 2.6.19) detects all three cards. > Do you have any idea why this behavior? > Centos 5.0 detects all three too, but I don't now why, my firewall > script (ipv4) doesn't work with this release. > > Now, thank you very much! > Best Regards. > _______________________________________________ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS at centos.org > http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos >-- Alain Spineux aspineux gmail com May the sources be with you
