 |
|
Hello!
First boot of my hd, gentoo works good but i get a 'failed to bring eth0 up' line durning boot, followed by 'ERROR: Problem starting needed services. "netmount" was not started.
Sounds like a missing line in a config file somewhere, but i dunno.
I have two network boards, but only one that worked from the autodetect, so i just pretended i didn't have the other one.. i don't think that should mess it up tho.
Any hints? I coulda swore i'd seen this error before, but i didn't find it with my search.

The two NIC's are a Linksys 'LNE100tx' (which wasn't working earlier) and a ''LNEPCI2" i don't quite know which module would be in use by these.

ok.. right module for the lnepci2 would be 'ne2k-pci'
the other one needs a 'tulip' driver - sounds harder, so i'll leave it for now - i just want one to work at the moment.
How would i add the ne2k module in? do i gotta recompile the kernel?

That's the safest way. If you want it as a module, you may be able to get away with just selecting it in the config and making modules and modules_install, but you would then have to also add it to autoload. All in all, if I were you, I would just compile it straight into the kernel.

The Tulip adapter isn't really any more difficult then any other. Just enable
the driver and go from there.
It's under Network Devices --> Ethernet 10/100 --> DECchip Tulip (dc21x4x) PCI support
The onboard lan on one of my Abit motherboards uses the same driver.
Works just as well as any others I have (Intel eepro100 or 3Com 3C95x)
