 Posted: Mon Jun 28, 2004 4:03 pm Post subject: Netword detection problem with 2004.0 livecd |
 |
|
Im having alot of trouble getting a network setup during installation. Im installing with the livecd 2004.0 since i have been reading alot of problems with the 2004.1 network detection. Well it's kinda weird because when i type
it seems detect the eth0 but i can't ping anyone.
I tried running
| Code: | modprobe 8138too
net-setup eth0 |
| Code: | bcm5700: eth0 NIC Link is DOWN
Type "ifconfig" to make sure the interface was configured correctly. |
and still i get no luck.
When the livecd boots it says it detects my network with dhcp. So then i tried
and the error i got was:
| Code: | bcm5700: eth0 NIC Link is DOWN
Type "ifconfig" to make sure the interface was configured correctly. |
When i type ifconfig all i get if the lo showing up running correctly and not the eth0 unless i do of course ifconfig eth0.
Does anyone know the problem? I have read the Sticky thread witht the 2004.1 network detection problems and this is why im using the 2004.0 livecd. But it still doesn't work for me

| Your loading a module for a RealTek 8138 card, you need to find the module for the Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5788 Gigabit Ethernet card. The RealTek card is not a gigabit NIC, therefore it will not work. If someone else doesn't post the module name I'll try to post it if I find it. |

| I don't kow if this one will work or if it's included in the Gentoo LiveCD, but someone on the net used the bcm5700 module. You could try it out. |
