 Posted: Fri Aug 29, 2003 8:08 am Post subject: Trouble with network |
 |
|
Have installed Gentoo, and it workes fine. I do have a problem with bringing up the network during boot. I'm getting this error during boot:
| Quote: |
*Bringing eth0 up...
SIOCSIFADDR: No such device
eth0: unknown interface: No such device
SIOCSIFBRDADDR: No such device
eth0: unknown interface: No such device
SIOCSIFNETMASK: No such device
*Failed to bring eth0 up
|
I then have to log in localy and do the following to get the network up:
| Code: |
modprobe 3c*
/etc/init.d/net.eth0 start
ifconfig eth0 up
|
I also have to start all services that are not up as a result of no network during boot.
I have compiled the driver as a module, but now it's compilet into the kernel. Why don't the system recognize the NIC during boot?

| Add the driver to /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.4 so that they are automatically loaded during bootup. |

| If you're not in the habit of changing network cards all the time, then why compile it as a module? I mean, a module that's loaded 100% of the time needn't be a module at all! |
