I have the same problem as the op. But my NIC is a 3com 3c509B (ISA), I
followed your instructions and when I type /sbin/route add -net 10.0.0.0
netmask 255... I've got:
SIOCADDRT: File exists
and when I type /sbin/route add default 10.0.0.1 the output is
SIOCADDRT: No such device
What this means? I'm running Mandrake 9.1 and just want get connected to the
outside world! Here is an output of my ifconfig:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:A0:24:86:49:A0

Any help is welcome,
