 |
|
| I tried to get the network going and it doesn't work I tried net-setup and adsl-setup which didn't work. So I followed the directions for the manuall install. I typed the command to get a list of the drivers but mine is not on there. My network controller is a Marvell Technology Group 88E8053 Gigabite (rev 15)....it's not listed. What should I do? |

Hi.
Your Marvel is probably supported by the skge or the sk98lin modules. In order to find your nic you should look at the following
After loading the module, you should check your network is working with

When I looked at
The list was too long and I couldn't scroll up to look at the other stuff. I went a head and loaded the sk98lin modules and tried to ping yahoo. Still getting an unknown host. 
EDIT: O yeah, not sure if it helps but my ethernet controller is onboard. If you need the mobo type just let me know. |

Marvell Yukon chips are frequently embedded in MB. I have one on my Assus A8N-SLI Deluxe. You should try the skge module before the sk98lin. The former is an open-source driver that should work for most controllers, the latter is the proprietary driver that needs only be used when needed.
To scroll through the console text, use SHIFT + PGUP and SHIFT + PGDN.

The only thing that caught my attention using lspci -v was an old nvidia ethernet adapter that I don't use any more. I tried using both the skge and sk98lin modules. I did the following:
| Code: |
modprobe skge
net-setup eth0
# I also tried this
modprobe sk98lin
net-setup eth0
|
Using options 2 (network uses wires) and 1 (DHCP auto) gave me the no link during initialization error. Despite this I still tried to ping www.google.com and got unknown host. |

You have to try each module on its own. Thus, try doing the following.
| Code: | # rmmod skge sk98lin
# modprobe skge
# dmesg
# ifconfig -a |
If ifconfig shows you the interface, then you need to look at your network config. If at the end of dmesg there is any error regarding the nic, please add it here. If this doesn't work then try
| Code: | # rmmod skge
# modprobe sk98lin
# dmesg
# ifconfig -a |
If your eth0 interface is not shown by ifconfig, take a look at dmesg. Post any errors you get.
