 |
|
I have an Linksys LNE100TX. It should use the tulip driver. I loadup the 1.4rc2 live cd, modprobe in the tulip (no errors listed), then i do 'ifconfig -a', and there is no eth0 in the list. I have never had a problem with this card with 1.2 gentoo livecd.
so yes/no?
*edit: edited for clarity and restricting question to 1 card

| My experience with Gentoo LiveCDs... If Linksys card works out of the box, fine. Else, modprobe. Else, insmod. |

you have to either do one of these:
dhcpcd eth0
net-setup eth0
or manually set a static ip with ifconfig. |

I just installed w/ 1.4_rc2 and a tulip card and had no problems (although I installed it as eth1 with a static IP). Why not just use the unreal live cd? Same difference as far as software and installation are concerned. Maybe try:
modprobe tulip
net-setup eth0 <-- pick the dhcp option from here instead of using dhcpcd
It might be my imagination, but it seems like they changed a couple things in the whole network card setup so I ended up doing mine by hand. I dunno if the above will work, but it couldn't hurt. |

I did eventually use the Unreal CD, and I have it all working.
When i used net-setup, i would constantly get timeouts from the network card spit in stderr. I was sniffing the network on a second machine with port monitoring on, and I was seeing no traffic from it.
It all works now, and did shortly after I originally posted this (using 1.4_rc1). I was just curious if there was a problem.

| Did you also try the de4x5 driver, i had a card that was detected as a tulip card, and the tulip driver loaded ok, but doesn't work very well, i then modprobe de4x5 and it works perfectly. |
