 |
|
Hi, all...
I have just installed linux-2.6.11-gentoo-r9 as a dual boot with win xp on my IBM T30 laptop. I succeeded in getting the dual boot to work, but I failed to get an active network connection. I feel I probably configured the kernel wrong, but I'm not sure how to troubleshoot this.
My final lines of buffer output on reboot are like this: | Code: | * Starting pcmcia...
cardmgr[5339]: no sockets found!
* cardmgr failed to start. Make sure that you have PCMCIA
* modules built or support compiled into the kernel..........[ !! ]
* Bringing eth0 up via DHCP..................................[ !! ]
*ERROR: Problem starting needed services.
* "netmount" was not started. |
I checked for eth0: | Code: | # ifconfig eth0
eth0: error fetching interface information: Device not found |
My lshw situation is as follows: | Code: | chuxtux

I don't know what to do next. The laptop has both an ethernet option as well as a linksys wireless pcmcia card. Either one working would do as a start.
Anyone willing to share some thoughts on this??
Thanks...

| did you compile your network driver as a module? |

Hi, once again...
No, not as a module.

I think you need =y, given:

I'll try with that configured in... Why did you first ask about being configured as a module?

module is =m
in that case, you would need to "modprobe e100" and put "e100" in /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 for it to be loaded at boot
( lsmod shows currently loaded modules, btw ) |

I'm having difficulty locating CONFIG_E100 in my kernel...
When found, is it better as a module?
Ahh... found it... module or built in?
Thanks...

you can just edit .config manually...
but through make menuconfig, it is under Device Drivers -> Network -> Ethernet 10mbit or 100mbit -> Intel something or other
module vs. builtin is kinda a matter of taste. Builtin is simpler, I'd go with that till you're more familiar with linux. |

Good... I'll give it a try and repost...
I'm fearful of many other possible omissions from the kernel setup...
Thanks, once again for helping!

Network is functioning!! You are terrific! Thanks, once again!!
My next project will be the pcmcia bit: | Code: | * Starting pcmcia...
cardmgr[5339]: no sockets found!
* cardmgr failed to start. Make sure that you have PCMCIA
* modules built or support compiled into the kernel..........[ !! ] |
Any thoughts on that??
