Assuming you have the correct driver compiled into the kernel, running "dmesg" should give you the device name. For example, my dmesg output has: ep0: <3Com 3C509-TP EtherLink III> at port 0x210-0x21f irq 7 on isa0 ep0: Ethernet address 00:a0:24:d8:0a:b3 in it. > 2) Will I run into problems if I use the example IP addresses in the Primer > for Creating the List of LAN hosts (in the /etc/hosts directory) for my > hosts? Nope; 192.168.* addresses are specifically reserved for private networks, so you can use them without problems.
