 |

Hi,
I have Marvell Yukon 88e8036 nic. I have compiled the drivers from manufacturer's site.
The adapter is recognized (lspci lists it).
However, I can't get any connection (I am trying DHCP, I followed the installation manual).
It seems that no traffic takes place - nothing is beind send or received.
I tried to pass noapic option during boot - it helped once, after the reboot it's still the same problem.
I just see "Bringing eth0 up via DHCP..... [!!]"
I did "rc-update add net.eth0 default" but te eth0 interface is not listed after "ifconfig"
Do you have any ideas? |

can you post your /etc/conf.d/net configuration? That might help us in solving your problem...
Be sure to uncomment and make the right adjustments to
iface_eth0="dhcp"
and
gateway="eth0/<then ur subnet>"

No. And that's the problem.
I just add that the same drivers work perfectly on the same machine under Debian.

The only uncommented lines from /etc/conf.d/net are:
iface_eth0="dhcp"
dhcpcd_eth0="-t 15"
gateway="eth0/192.168.0.1"
What's interesting, when I tried to use static IP, situation whas identical - no sign of traffic.

Mm sounds like a kernel issue, since u said there was no traffic being sent or recieved through both the dhcp method and static ip.
I am not to sure what module supports your Ethernet card. But go in and modify your kernel in /usr/src/linux/

Device Drivers -> Networking support -> Ethernet (1000 Mbit) -> Marvel Yukon Chipset / SysKonnect SK-98xx Support |

I just found out that passing "acpi=off" option to the kernel helps.
However, this is laptop so turning off power management is actually no solution for me.
Dou you know any way around it?
