Networking :: Need help with SMC 2632W v2 configuation



I was kinda hoping that if the lights came on that a driver was loaded, but it does not look to be true.

I guess you could try the hard drive install, then download kernel headers and development extensions (gcc1.dsl etc) and then try and compile the driver yourself like that other guy did.
If you would post the output of
lspci | grep Ethernet

and then the output of
lspci -vn

It could very well be easy to use ndiswrapper to make this card work. Won't know until we get more info.

Here is the first output requested, but no Ethernet string is present:

Here is the second with the -vn option:

I tried using ndiswrapper on the .INF that is used for Windows 98 provided on the CD-ROM from SMC for this card, and it says its an invalid driver.
How about:

sudo cardctrl ident

output is:
