[Quantian-general] network card configuration

[JP Azevedo]

I'm not sure if this is the case. I will check. I know for sure that I have
not changed the kernel version that came on the CD.
I have noticed though that in the kernel directory there are two folders
2.6.12 and a 2.4.something. I'm not sure if this might be creating a
problem.
I did not mention that I'm still running Quantian from the CD.
Cheers,
JP

In general (I do not know this lan in particular), it is necessary that the 
kernel source version and the running kernel version match. Even if you 
compile the drivers in Quantum, there is a slight possibility that you have 
different versions for the sources and the running kernel (at least in 
theory). This may happen in a distro when you upgrade only the running 
kernel.
You should confirm that.

Regards.
Joao

I've posted a message to a Knoppix form as well (http://www.knoppix.net/).
Would suggest any other forum?
Cheers,
JP

Not sure what else to suggest -- did you try the Knoppix forums, eg at
www.knoppix.net ?  Quantian 0.7.9.2 is based on Knoppix 4.0.2, maybe you can
find some help there.

Best regards, Dirk
