Hi,
I freshly installed Fedora Core 1 on an old AMD K6-2 based PC, which a
Kingston KNE111TX NIC.

Everything seemed to be going OK. Even the NIC was identified and
configured without a problem (and the correct MAC address was
registered in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts).

Alas, when I attempt to ping another PC on my network, I receive
"Destination Host Unreachable".

Now.. I *know* it must be something in the driver's innerworkings
since the same exact hardware config works PERFECTLY when booted to
Windows XP. Also, I have installed and configured countless Linux
systems with working networking, so I can swear that all the params I
entered are perfect.

However, this is the first time ever that I am trying to use the
Kingston KNE111TX NIC with Linux.

So, I checked /proc/pci and found that the card is identified as:

------ START QUOTE -------
Bus 0, device 9, function 0
Ethernet Controller: Lite-On Communication Inc LNE100TX
[Linksys EtherFast 10/100] (rev 37)
IRQ 9
Master Capable. Latency=64 Min Gnt=8.Max Lat=56
I/O at 0xd800 [0xd8ff]
No-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xe6410000 [0xe64100ff]
------ END QUOTE -------

My questions are:
1) Does this seem OK?
The card is from Kingston so why is it identified as
Lite-On/Linksys?
2) Does anyone know for sure that it is possible to use this card with
Linux
(kernel 2.4 and up)?
3) If the answer to question #2 is positive,
What do I need to do in order to "make it happen"?

Thanks,
Lynn
