Hello,
i have a 1841 cisco router and i recently purchased a 1 port HWIC wan interface card. My problem is that I cannot see the interface in my config file. Is there something i am missing?
Sincerely,
Gary

Hello Gary,
to check if new hardware is seen correctly you can use
show version
show hardware
show inventory ( if supported)
a new module never used does not appear in configuration file until you start to configure it
What HWIC module is and what IOS version are you running?
posting a show version would be a good idea to get better help
Hope to help

Cisco 1-Port Fast Ethernet High-Speed WAN Interface Card - 1 x 10/100Base-TX LAN - HWIC
I will lookup the IOS version later today. I am away from my system.

Update IOS.

I am away from my system at the moment. Updating the IOS is possible if I can download from Cisco, But they keep telling me that I need to have a valid service request and that takes me down a road of problems. I bought the router through a retail outlet, Newegg.com.

That is correct. You can still acquire a support contract, for example

I signed up at this site for a support contract to receive the updated IOS from Cisco. I have been waiting for close to 2 weeks for Cisco to honor this contract. Still nothing. What else can I do at this point?
