[pcmcia]only IPv6 supplied to eth0

[paultje3181]

I have a xircom cem33 ethernetcard. But I can't get it to work. I compiled the kernel and all is working like a charm, except the network device.

I compiled the yenta_socket, PCMCIA support, cardbus/16 bit etc. with a 2.6.7-gentoo-r11 kernel. I emerged pcmcia-cs and added it pcmcia to defautl using rc-update. Modules autoloaded are: yenta-socket, ds, xirc2ps-cs, all without problems.

dmesg: Yenta: Cardbus bridge found at 0000:00:02.1 [1179:0001]
Yenta: ISA IRQ mask 0x06b8, PCI irq 11
eth0: Xircom: port 0x2e0, irq 11, hwaddr {MAC-adress}
eth0: media 10Base2, silicon revision 1
eth0: no IPv6 routers present

at boot eth0 did not exist, but after ifconfig eth0 up eth0 got an IPv6 adress. But still I can't ping any computer in my IP-range. So what's going on? (I did compile IPv4 in my kernel offcourse)
In /etc/resolv.conf there is only 1 line: domain ibbu.nl

Well, can you provide the output of ifconfig.
It seems you are attempting to use dhcp. Did you do that correctly?

After "ifconfig eth0 up", you need to specify an IP address. How you do this depends on your home network. Hopefully, you have a router or modem that provides you with an address via DHCP, in which case you can do "dhcpd eth0".

Otherwise, you'll need to specify the IP manually, with e.g. "ifconfig eth0 up 192.168.0.111". Using this method, you'll also need to find out what the gateway is and set that appropriately, etc.
