Upon launching ./net start in /etc/rc.d I get these errors on standard
out:
SIOCSIFADDR: No such device eth0: unknown interface: No such device SIOCSIFNETMASK: No such device SIOCADDR: Network is unreachable

This message normally means that eth0 doesn't exist. When asking a
question it would really help if you posted the relevant config/scrips/output e.g what does your rc.d/net look like?
# more net #!/bin/sh # # /etc/rc.d/net: start/stop network # case $1 in start) /sbin/modprobe 3c59x /sbin/ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1 /sbin/ifconfig eth0 10.0.0.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 /sbin/route add default gw 10.0.0.138 # /sbin/dhcpcd eth0 ;; stop) # killall -q /sbin/dhcpcd /sbin/ifconfig eth0 down /sbin/ifconfig lo down ;; restart) $0 stop $0 start ;; *) echo "usage: $0 [start|stop|restart]" ;; esac # End of file # What is the output of ifconfig? ifconfig has only listing of the loopback device. If you compiled the natsemi module as a module did
it load? What's the output of lsmod?
Didn't compile natsemi as a module, did a reconfigure of the kernel as adviced since I couldn't find any support on my CD for making this as a module. You can tell if the kernel you're running has the natsemi code available
by looking at the subdirectories of /sys/module.
Hmm, nope, couldn't see any natsemi stuff there. Thanks, Helge F.
