 |

I cant start my eth0 interface which uses dhcp ... Here is what i have in /var/log/messages
dhcpcd[xxxx]: dhcpStart: ioctl SIOCGIFHWADDR: No such device
i've tried to recompile the whole kernel, but this didn't get better and I think I have all necessary modules ...
help !!! |

the kernel is definatly not seeing you card. are you *POSITIVE* that you are using the right driver? have you loaded it yet (if you made it a module)?
what card, and what driver are you using? |

i use the "embedded" chip on a Shuttle AK32A motherboard (via kt 266A) and I use the ne2k-pci module like the live-CD did ...
/proc/pci tells me I use a RTL-8029(AS) card-chip ... |

You seem to be using the right driver.
http://www.scyld.com/network/ne2k-pci.html
I can think of several problems. You have forgotten to modprobe the driver before you try dhcp, or you have your /etc/conf.d/net set up to use a different interface.
Beyond that, I dont have a clue what else would be going wrong. |

If it's really a module problem, try addind it at /etc/modules.autoload.d/<kernel-version> like that:
It should load the modules at boot, and u can try install hotplug that will
load the needed modules for you.
| Code: | # emerge hotplug
# rc-update add hotplug boot |

|
|
All,
I am facing the exact same problem.
Earlier i used see these in my /var/log/messages file
| Code: |
Feb 1 14:54:16 pavan eth0: Realtek RTL8201 PHY transceiver found at address 1.
Feb 1 14:54:16 pavan eth0: Using transceiver found at address 1 as default
Feb 1 14:54:16 pavan eth0: SiS 900 PCI Fast Ethernet at 0xd400, IRQ 12, 00:07:95:10:a7:b1.
Feb 1 14:54:16 pavan eth0: Media Link On 100mbps full-duplex
Feb 1 14:54:16 pavan eth0: no IPv6 routers present
|
Recently i did a emerge world & i remember it updated the hotplug packages. After that i am unable to bring up the eth0 interface. I am pretty sure i am NOT seeing the above messages lately. ( I am a novice in reading the messages file)
| Code: |
Feb 8 01:55:15 pavan dhcpcd[1592]: dhcpStart: ioctl SIOCGIFHWADDR: No such device
Feb 8 01:55:15 pavan rc-scripts: ERROR: Problem starting needed services.
Feb 8 01:55:15 pavan rc-scripts: "netmount" was not started.
rc-scripts: ERROR: "net.eth0" has not yet been started.
rc-scripts: status: stopped
|
NOTE: Please don't go by the datetime stamps my PC clock seem be acting wired & it sets different datetimes at reboots.
Any help would be greatly appreiciated.
