Old SG30 don't see built in Ethernet.
by Raymond Day from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5C3C4)
I have Ubuntu server install in this Toshiba Magnia SG30 has a 32 bit CPU. So wanted to install Debian server on it. I can with a USB to CD ROM drive and put a video card in its slot with a wide ribbon cable. So I can put the top board back on that has the hard drives and 8 Ethernet ports.
Debian I read still supports 32 bit so wanted to use it. But it can't find the 2 built in Ethernet drivers. When running on Ubuntu server 18.04.4 the last 32 bit one it auto seen both Ethernet on it. But Debian don't.
They are:
Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 8255xER/82551IT Fast Ethernet Controller
Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8100/8101L/8139 PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter
Looked on Google over a hours trying to find what commands to install them. I put a USB to Ethernet on it so I could do that.
But nothing worked. So I put the Ubuntu drives back in it.
I still have the drive installed Debian server on any way to install the Ethernet drivers on it?
