I am running a uClinux kernel (2.6.16) from DDR2 SDRAM on an Altera Cyclone II DSP Board. I have a Microtronix USB/Ethernet daughter card connected.
I enabled the Davicom DM9000 ethernet and TCP support in my kernel configuration. I am using a crossover ethernet cable to connect the board to a laptop. The LED on the ethernet daughter card does not light (indicates that there is no link) and the laptop does not recognize the ethernet connection ("Network cable unplugged") (firewalls are disabled). I am able to ping the ethernet card from the Altera board in a local loopback. I can change the ip address when referencing "lo" (What is lo?) but recieve errors ("no such device") when referencing "eth0". The following is bootup and the commands i have tried: <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div> --- Quote Start --- /> Uncompressing Linux... Ok, booting the kernel.
