- I have the SLS 0.98pl1 distribution on a 486 machine connected to an
- ethernet using a Western Digital card.
-
- I recompiled the kernel according to the quick and dirty readme.
- I had all the stuff in /etc/inet and I edited install.net and rc.net
- to refer to this location (instead of /usr/etc/inet). I have
- configured rc.net with all the right IP addresses.
-
- The loopback and WD devices seem to initialise correctly when the
- kernel boots up. When rc.net runs all three config commands fail with
- "Socket: Protocol not supported".
-
- I have edited net/tcp/Space.c to set the initial parameters for the
- board. This didn't help. The board is set to use soft parameters, if
- that helps.
-
- I suspect I am missing something or the config program is broken. I
- haven't found anything useful on the ftp sites.
-
- Could somebody please point me in the right direction?
-
- Mark.
