GPIB/ENET+Linux : Ethernetconfig always returns "No device"

[laborie]

OS LInux 2.4.7 (distribution RedHAT 7.2 )
If I connect the GPIB/ENET on my config (config 1 : Compaq Pentium 4, linux2.4.7), Ethernetconfig returns no device

I tried on an other config (config 2 : Dell - Pentium 4 - Linux 2.4.2 - Redhat 7.1) , Ethernetconfig finds the device
So on config2, I can confgiure IP address and mask correctly
Then I put the GPIB/ENET again on the config1

I can ping it, I can use it (with ibic utility), but EthernetConfig still returns no device

Is there some instructions to install Redhat 7.2 ?
What can I check ?
Thank ou for cooperation

Are you using the latest 1.2 beta driver from, http://www.ni.com/linux/ni488dl.htm? So you are able to talk to an instrument via ibic but the EthernetConfig doens't work only in config 1?

Yes I have used nienet-linux_1.2 on both config 1 and 2.

Ethernet Config doesn't work on config 1 although I am able to use the LAN-GPIB with my Keithley equipment
It there an other way to configure IP adress from the PC ?
If there a default adress at config resrt ?

The ENET/100 has reset button, which if pressed for more than 3 sec reassigns the address. Refer to http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/320528b.pdf for ENET and http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/322989a.pdf for ENET/100 these manuals are for Solaris but they should give a idea how the ENET's are to be configured. The ENET have a unique ethernet address which is labeled at the back.
