 Posted: Fri May 06, 2005 4:03 am Post subject: Botched my network install. |
 |
|
The livecd ran the network perfectly, i just did the final reboot step, and i was able to log in and everything, but i can't get anything out of the network. ifconfig gives me one entry for lo. ifconfig eth0 shows nothing really of substance. a lot of zeros.
i have a basic linksys router as my DHCP. i've never really had any problems with anything picking this dhcp up. i'm new to gentoo, and a linux novice in general, so i don't even know where to start.
thanks in advance for any help. |

again, i have no idea what i'm looking for in this output. i did scroll through it, saw nothing of consequence.
do my files have any dumb obvious noobie mistakes? i have a feeling i butchered this.
i'm using DHCP remember. there's really nothing interesting going on with my PC hardware wise, and i used a pretty default installation (i didn't try to deviate much from the guide)
/etc/conf.d/net
| Code: |
iface_eth0="dhcp"
dhcpcd_eth0="-HD"
|
/etc/hosts
| Code: |
127.0.0.1 dartagnian

thank you very much for your help. |

boot the livecd and run "lsmod"
compare that to lsmod from your installed system |

So you want the skge driver for eth0 and the e100 driver for eth1. Make sure you enable both in the kernel.

Your post got me thinking "wtf, i have no eth1."
So i went into the BIOS, disabled the onboard LAN (i use a PCI NIC) and all went well. Thanks guys |
