 Posted: Sun Apr 18, 2004 2:31 am Post subject: Re-bootstrapped/emerged sources and I killed my network |
 |
|
In the process of recompiling my kernel, re-bootstrapping and the emerge process which comes up with lots of RED WARNING TEXT however, I seem to have removed support for my ethernet card. I tried to run netsetup but I have not yet emerged this on my system.
When I run ifconfig, I only see references to the local loopback interface.
Can I grab ifconfig from the live cd's somehow?
Do I need to recompile my kernel to get my ethernet connection back? or do I just need to run netsetup once I somehow get it onto my machine?
(On boot, it fails to bring up eth0)
Thanks

what does "lspci" say about your card? what card is it? and did you enabled the driver for that card into your kernel configuration?
cheers

You need to recompile your kernel with support for your ethernet card.
If you don't know what it is, boot from your livecd, and issue the command
| Code: | | dmesg | grep -i eth |
and it should give you some sort of a clue.

Umm - nevermind.
When I reset my bios, it disabled my onboard ethernet.
Thanks for your suggestions.
