 |
|
Hi I installed a second nic in my gentoo box yesterday & rebuilt the kernel with the required drivers. I'm not exactly sure what to do now, I was expecting to reboot and have both an eth0 & eth1 however this isn't the case. Do I have to create a device node or something?
Any help appriciated.

cat /proc/pci | grep Ethernet
Ethernet controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] SiS900 10/100 Ethernet (rev 128).
Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8029(AS) (rev 0).

Setting up your box with multiple nics is explained in "Configuring your Network" in section 8b of the handbook. It's pretty straightforward.

| You probably need to load a module for the one that isn't showing up. If you don't have the module, you'll need to recompile your kernel. I'd give you more detailed instructions, but I don't have a Linux box handy. |

I compiled it into the kernel (RealTek RTL-8029). I double checked the driver by booting up with kanotix (It worked fine). I still get an error on boot | Code: | | eth1: unknown interface: No such device |

Did you copy over the new kernel image or added it to the list of modules to load on startup if you're using a modular kernel? Since you setup the init scripts and everything it looks like the driver just isn't getting loaded.

Yeah I copied over the kernel image, uname -a confirms this.
edit: The problem may lie elsewhere; I will have to probe deeper. Thanks for your attempted help guys. |

So you're using "PCI NE2000 and clones support" correct? What's the output of
You might also want to try it as a module and see what happens when you try bringing it up that way. The module should be called ne2k-pci.
Edit: Okies, that's where I was trying to go, but good luck
