 Posted: Thu May 27, 2004 6:01 pm Post subject: Not recognizing eth0 |
 |
|
First off, let me say I'm completely new to Gentoo Linux and fairly new to Linux in general.
I just recently finished install Gentoo Linux from the 2004.1 minimal install livecd that I downloaded. My network card was originally not picked up (but was by the 2004.0 universal CD, go figure). I currently have a Linksys Ethernet Everywhere card (LNE100TX). I found out from Linksys's web page that this card uses the tulip network mod, so I did a modprobe tulip and that solved the problem. However, after the full install my network card is no longer being recognized. In manually configuring the kernel I checked the tulip option (I also checked everything underneath just to be sure as well). That still did not work however. Now I am at a loss as to what to do to get my computer hooked up to the net.
One more thing, how come vi isn't installed as well. I can't stand using nano, but it's the only thing that seems to work for me for editing. Arrrggghh!!!
Please help,
Unum |

Have you put the driver in the kernel ?
Can you do cat /proc/pci | grep Ethernet and lsmod ? |

I think I put the driver in the kernel. I checked the tulip option while doing make menuconfig. Other than that, I have no idea as to how to put the driver in the kernel.
When I run cat /proc/pci | grep Ethernet it does mention the card that I have. However cat /proc/pci | grep lsmod returns nothing. |

mdr ! it is lsmod only, without grep.
However if cat /proc/pci | grep Ethernet return nothing it is very bad. Can you give the result ? |

Okay, grepping for Ethernet returns this.
-- Ethernet controller: Linksys Network Everywhere Fast Ethernet 10/100 model NC100 (rev 17)
lsmod doesn't return anything, other than the top headers with nothing underneath them.

I hope this helps. |

I don't know the problem. I hope you are sure to have a good kernel otherwise we lost our time.
Can you try to do ?
You write you have a good kernel and the card worked this the liveCD. So I think there are a bad configuration.
What have you done to configure your card ?
Did you try to do | Code: | | "ifconfig eth0 $IP netmask $netmask broadcast $broadcast" ? |

Okay, I figured it out. I had to compile the tulip network driver as a module (instead of compiling within the kernel) and then have the module load at boot. I'm now able to get on the net. Yippee!!!
Thanks for the help. I really appreciate it.
Peace,

Oh it is good.
Can you rename now your first post like this : [network] Problem this eth0 (solved)
That will allow to have a clearer forum. You need only to click on the edit button to your first post.
thanks |
