Please try out the DE2_NET.sof and zImage_de2_net files attached in

http://nioswiki.jot.com/wikihome/operating...s/tryoutuclinux (http://nioswiki.jot.com/wikihome/operatingsystems/tryoutuclinux)

It has the dm9ks driver enabled so you play without any compilation.

The later sof files in DE2 packages (1.3-1.5) might have some problems in SDRAM. The above sof is from v1.1.

You may look at the boot message of DE2 in the page,

http://nioswiki.jot.com/wikihome/operating...ems/uclinuxdist (http://nioswiki.jot.com/wikihome/operatingsystems/uclinuxdist)

and watch for the probe of the chip,

<DM9KS> I/O: 80900090, VID: 90000a46

And you should try out the ifconfig and net services.

When you want to config the kernel, select only the dm9ks net driver.
