 Posted: Tue Jun 29, 2004 7:58 pm Post subject: Which module is required... |
 |
|
I cant seem to get my network configured. I know this is a very popular topic, I have already searched for solutions, and have found some possible solutions, however right now I am trying to get a specific answer, so that when I take the NIC out of this computer and put it in my new one(where I am trying to install Gentoo) I wont have to take it out again if it goes wrong(which I have already dont about 5 times).
I need to find which module I need to use to get my NIC working. I am using a D-Link DFE-538TX.
Any help would be grately appreciated:)

do an lspci and look for the network card description and post it back here.
It might be this one "rtl8139.o"

I'm hoping that you are right, cause like I said, that'll involving switching the NIC once again, and it is getting really tedious. I'm also worried because this cant be good for the NIC. If it comes to it though I guess i'll post the lspci stuff.
Anyways, thanks for the suggestion, i'm trying my next install in 20 minutes;)

Ok, I just tried to install again, didnt get my network configured. The module 'rtl8139' couldnt even be found. I did get the info from lspci though about my card. I hope it helps:
00:04:0 Ethernet Controller: nVidia corporation nForce2 Ethernet controller(reval)
01:04:0 Ethernet Controller: Marvel Yukon Gigabit Ethernet 10/100/1000 Buse-T Adapter (rev 13)
01:07:0 Ethernet Adapater: D-Link system Inc RTL8139
Is this the info required to find the module for my card?

Did you compile it as a module in the kernel?
Look for it in
| Code: | cd /usr/src/linux
make menuconfig |

If you want all 3 NICs to work, these are the modules you need (in the same order you posted).
| Code: | # modprobe forcedeth (for the nVidia onboard NIC)
# modprobe sk98lin (for the Marvel Gigabit NIC)
# modprobe 8139too (for the D-Link NIC) |

Thanks. I think I only need the ethernet nic to work. I guess it wont harm to have them all however. Thanks for the help:)
As I recall it wouldnt let me do cd /usr/src/linux - Cant remember why i'll write down why if I still cant get it to work.
