 |
|
The live CD detects my intel e100 card, and on the live CD I'm able to emerge and to use the network.
When I boot my system, (e100 is already in /etc/modules.autoload) it says

* 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

When you run '/sbin/lsmod' do you see e100 as one of the modules loaded? If not, then the module was not loaded by the kernel, make sure you selected the appropriate card in your kernel configuration.
I also found this site, which might be of some help.

When I run lsmod on the liveCD, the module is loaded and I'm able to configure eth0, when I try the same command after a normal boot, the module loads correctly, but when I try to bring eth0 up, that f***** message appears!!! |

I don't know if this is related at all, but I just got the same message on a previously functioning box, after I 'rc-update add * default' -ed a bunch of services.
I removed the services and it came back.
Perhaps a dependancy or a service is hanging up eth0. |
