Ciao a tutti vorrei sapere se la scheda di rete Mediacom è supportata da linux.

Link al sito Mediacomeurope.it

Sulla confezione c'è scritto anche:
Compatibilità Software:
..Novell Netware/Unix/Linux

Dentro al Floppy con i driver c'è un file con scritto:

This document contains instructions on installing Linux driver<br />and adjusting speed for the series of RTL8139(A/B/C/8130) Network Adapter<br /><br />Installing Driver:<br />(1.) Kernel Had Supported Driver:<br />Check the directory &quot; /lib/modules/¡K./net &quot; if you could find &quot;rtl8139.o&quot;<br />Your kernel had supported RTL8139 series. You could easy use &quot;linuxconf&quot; <br />to setup your card. If you don&#039;t like linuxconf, you also could use<br />&quot;modprobe rtl8139&quot; and &quot;ifconfig up eth0&quot; to load module.<br />If your driver load properly, your &quot;/etc/conf.modules&quot; should include<br />line of &quot;alias eth0 rtl8139&quot;.<br /><br />(2.) Kernel Don&#039;t Support Driver:<br />If your kernel doesn&#039;t support RTL8139 series, you should compiler driver<br />by yourself. Please contact http://www.scyld.com/network/rtl8139.html<br />to get source code. The compiler command is located on the end of source<br />code. Maybe like &quot;gcc -DMODULE -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O6 -c rtl8139.c&quot;.<br />If you couldn&#039;t compiler success, maybe you should refer to error message<br />and copy library or head file to Linux.<br /><br />Adjust Speed:<br />(1.) Adjusting speed:<br />Driver is designed with the gold that no options should be needed in most<br />environment. However not all cards and networks can be automatically configured,<br />thus allow operational parameters to be modify when they are loaded<br />as module. Typically the following variables may be set:<br />insmod rtl8139 options=0x40<br />Hex Decimal Meaning<br />0x10 16 ¡K..Force Full-Duplex operation (must be used with 0x20 or 0x40)<br />0x20 32 ¡K..Force 100mbps-only operation<br />0x40 64 ¡K..Force 10mbps-only<br /><br />If loading as a module and configured /etc/conf.modules<br /><br />alias eth0 rtl8139<br />options options=0x40<br /><br />Look weird like that but I believe that works.<br /><br />That&#039;s what I got out of the documentation. It seems like the<br />options are supported in the module. If not, you&#039;ll need to<br />download ftp://ftp.scyld.com/pub/diag/rtl8139-diag.c<br /><br />Compiling syntax is at the end.<br /><br />Run: &quot;rtl8139-diag -F 10baseT-HD&quot;<br /><br />That will force it to 10Mbps at half-duplex. If you want full-duplex change it to 10baseT-FD.<br />You&#039;ll need a switch for full-duplex.<br /><br />Once you establish that it works, you can write the setting to<br />the EEPROM with &quot;rtl8139-diag -w&quot;.

Ma non so cm fare per farla vedere a linux.. su Harware non me la vede.. e se metto un modem e creo una nuova connessione non me lo vede.. la spia della scheda di rete è accesa..
