 |
|
Hi, I have two ethernet cards integrated:
3Com 3C920B-EMB Integrated Fast Ethernet
NVIDIA nForce MCP Networking Controller
The history was so. When I boot up from LiveCD, i have to disable (before) my nvidia eth card in other case it will be detected as eth0 and system will not detect 3Com (it is connected to internet). So. I disabled Nvidia and all worked fine. eth0 showed as 3Com. But now as i'm finished with kernel and grub install i'm booting not from LiveCD. I enabled back nvidia eth card and... system doesn't see it. It still sees 3Com as eth0. And drops error if I try configure /etc/conf.d/net for eth1 it drops on /etc/init.d/net.eth1 start error that eth1 not found
I've followed every step from handbook. I'm confused now and need help. (By the way should cabel be inserted for system to know that eth card exists?)

Could You please tell me how that nVidia chipset driver calls in kernel configuration menu?
Oh and I cannot use lspci command. What should I need to emerge to get that working?

You need to enable the option "Reverse engineered NVidia ethernet support" in make menuconfig.

You need to be logged in as root to be able to use it. |

bash: lspci: command not found
And yes. i'm logged as root because i don't have any other user added yet  i'm still in gentoo configuration mode so no use of creating simple user. Maybe later as my X windows start working and whole system will be tidy and shiny

Erm... I'd strongly advise you crate a user NOW... before you forget all about it and login as root all the time (one of the worst unix security practices). |
