IPCop will not recognize all of my NICs

  1. Remove all of your NICs
  2. Install one NIC in your first (PCI) slot
    (make sure it is a 10/100 NIC which is supported in the Linux 2.4.34 kernel, use a Linux LiveCD which uses the Linux 2.4.34 kernel to check if your NIC is supported)
  3. Boot the install
  4. If IPCOP recognizes your NIC
    This slot is good
  5. If IPCOP does not recognize your NIC
    This slot is BAD, make a note
  6. Shutdown IPCOP
  7. Move your NIC to the next slot
  8. Repeat steps 1 through 7 until you have gone through all of your (PCI) slots

Now place your cards in KNOWN working slots and boot/install IPCOP as usual.
