| i have a national semiconductor ethernet card and i put the national semiconductor driver built into the kernel i also changed to dhcp in the rc.conf and changed to the appropriate balues in the hosts file. Yet i still cannot get onto the internet. I had the internet working on a previous installation but on teo new ones i just installed i cant get it working. Is there something else i have to do? |

Can you replay with the outputs from ifconfig, lsmod and lspci? if you don't have lspci emerge pciutils.
Do you receive any errors, etc?
Do you know if the interface is coming up?
If so, are you receiving an IP from DHCP?
Thanks

Is this a laptop? Broadcom, I'm guessing is your wifi?
when you goto /usr/src/linux and make menuconfig
do you have this set as <*> or <M>:
| Code: | | National Semiconductor DP8381x series PCI Ethernet support |
Also did you edit /etc/conf.d/net file?
Are you getting any errors on...
| Code: | | /etc/init.d/net.eth0 start |
Thanks

sorry i took so long to respond i was at work. My kernel is 2.4. I have national semiconductor driver built-in as <*>. my conf.d/net is set to dhcp in iface_eth0. When i boot i get a eth0 error and when i run
/etc/init.d/net.eth0 start
i get the error
* Bringing eth0 up via DHCP... [ !! ]
I also get an error at boot if this has anything to do with it
failure to mount some local filesystems [ !! ]
im not sure what the broacom is, it cant be my router can it? i have a dlink router. |
