When you run 'lsmod | grep e100', do you see it? Does it say "unused" next to it? Like this: e100 58296 0 (unused) If so, this probably isn't the right module for your hardware. If the module is listed and it doesn't say "unused," it looks like you're in business. > bmike1@bmike1:/mnt/sda5/Downloads/ethernet.driver/e100-2.3.33/src$ ifconfig eth0 255.255.255.1 > SIOCSIFADDR: Permission denied > SIOCSIFFLAGS: Permission denied This is just telling you that you need to be root to configure the interface.

I don't think 255.255.255.1 is a valid address. If the module wasn't loaded or you loaded the wrong one, you would probably get a message like this instead: SIOCSIFADDR: No such device eth0: unknown interface: No such device Try this command instead: $ sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.1 $ sudo ifconfig eth0 up See if you get any errors. If not, run this: $ ifconfig eth0 You should get output like this: eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:01:DE:AD:BE:EF inet addr:192.168.1.1 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:955624 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:101261 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:1553 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 RX bytes:79929759 (76.2 Mb) TX bytes:7955572 (7.5 Mb) Interrupt:10 Base address:0xdc00 If so, it looks like you're in business. Since you don't have any other machines on your network, there's not a whole lot more you can do. But you should be able to ping your own IP address: $ ping 192.168.1.1 PING 192.168.1.1 (192.168.1.1) from 192.168.1.1 : 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 192.168.1.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.231 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.1: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.134 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.1: icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=0.139 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.1: icmp_seq=4 ttl=64 time=0.148 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.1: icmp_seq=5 ttl=64 time=0.143 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.1: icmp_seq=6 ttl=64 time=0.145 ms ^C --- 192.168.1.1 ping statistics --- 6 packets transmitted, 6 received, 0% loss, time 4998ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.134/0.156/0.231/0.036 ms HTH.
