|
|
My computer could connect to the internet through my wireless router (Dlink DI 614+) during installation, but now it won't. On start up I get the following errors:
===============================
eth0: unknown interface: No such device
SIOCSIFNETMASK: No such device
*Failed to bring eth0 up
*ERROR: Problem starting needed services.
* "netmount" was not started.
===============================
Anyone know why this could be? I've tried running rc-update for eth0 and a few other things from other posts on this board, but no luck. Sorry if this has been brought up a million times already, but I searched the boards for a while and found nothing. Thanks for your help  |

Is the driver for the network card compiled into the kernel, or compiled as a module?
If it's a module, do you have a means of associating the driver with the device? I have an /etc/modules.d/eth0 file:
You would of course want to replace "3c59x" with the name of your Dlink module. Then a:

modules-update
/etc/init.d/net.eth0 start

I figured it out. I just needed to switch some things in the kernel. Now I'm just waiting for gnome to finish installing! eeek |
