Network problem!!

While I use “ifconfig” ,it shows that

lo0: flags=8009<UP,LOOPBACK,MULTICAST> mtu 33212
capabilities=7<IP4CSUM,TCP4CSUM,UDP4CSUM>
enabled=0<>
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000

It seems that I don’t install network driver. :open_mouth:

Here is the info of my network card

Accton EN1207F Series PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter.

Could anyone tell me how to find the driver and install the device?

thanls a lot!!! :laughing:

It might be a rtl or tulip.
try
io-net -d rtl -ptcpip &
or
io-net -d tulip -ptcpip &

and then try “ifconfig -a” again.

post “pci -v” if still not work.

Thanks for your help :laughing:

I try all the driver.But No driver works. :question:

Whlie I change the network

card(Reltek8139),it works.

Why ??? It makes me confused.

Here is my pci-v information about Accton EN5251 Enthernet.

From what I could find, the Accton Tech EN5251 is a Centaur chipset and “should” work with the tulip driver. You may have to start it with:

io-net -dtulip did=0x1216,vid=0x1113 -ptcpip

and see if that helps. If not, you are probably out of luck… Apparently these cards took updated tulip drivers for linux, so it is possible that it is not really compatible.

If you have a working realtek card, then use that.
