How to fix problem with Davicom ethernet adapter.I noticed that there isn't a post for this yet, and many people have been having this problem, so i decided to make one.
The solution to fix this is relatively easy. It's made up of only 2 steps.
First, you need to add dmfe to /etc/modules. To do this you need to open up modules with gedit by typing the following code into a terminal.
Code:
Then, you need to add "dmfe" to this, without the quotes. Make sure you save.
Finally, you need to blacklist the tulip driver so it wont run at startup. To do this you need to run the following in a terminal.
Code:
sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
After this is opened, you need to add "blacklist tulip", without the quotations, somewhere in the file. Then save.
After both of these steps have been completed, restart your system, and voila, you now magically have a working ethernet adapter.
I'm sorry if this is hard to understand, as it is my first post, and im fairly new to linux.
