 Posted: Wed Jan 15, 2003 3:31 pm Post subject: network | dsl problems |
 |
|
After having some problems and solving them (search) I have problems getting an internet connection via dsl. I read a lot in this forum but I didn't find the answer.
I installed Gentoo 1.4 via chroot (from Suse Linux system), I had no problems downloading all the stuff. But when I boot gentoo and type ifconfig -a only the "lo" is found.
So I think I have to configure the system to find the eth0 device on startup. Afterwards I will worry about my dsl connection.
When "chroot"ing from Suse to Gentoo I easily get a connection?! Thx for any help.
edit: I could copy+paste part of the kernel .config but I don't know if or which part of it is important. |

Did you make sure and compile your network cards drivers into the kernel?

Well, I have an onboard ethernet controller 10/100 mbs - VIA VT 6103.
I didn't find it in the list "network device support" so I included most of the devices as modul. Here's one part of my .config

Ok, so its probably fair to say that you compiled in the drivers for it. Now you have to MANUALLY load each one until you find the one that works. Try tulip first, thats what most of the onboards run on. Just incase you dont know how to do it:
| Code: | sonik@tryptamine sonik $sudo /sbin/modprobe tulip
|
or to list the currently running modules (to make sure it loaded correctly)
| Code: | sonik@tryptamine sonik $ sudo /sbin/lsmod
Module Size Used by Tainted: P
smbfs 39152 2 (autoclean)
ntfs 54304 1 (autoclean)
NVdriver 1066976 11 (autoclean)
sr_mod 16024 0 (autoclean) (unused)
ide-scsi 8816 0
3c59x 27856 1
sonik@tryptamine sonik $
|
if you are root you can leave out the /sbin/ part and the sudo

Hi there, right now I'm using lynx  to post here. I used modprobe and lsmod and there I didn't find a loaded ethernet card driver module. "modprobe via-rhine" did the trick. Well I don't have a -Rhine but it uses the same driver as my device. Thank you very much for your help! |
