 |
|
I have an older Soyo P4I845PE board with integrated networking,
the card is recognized, but anything i do to try and get it to communicate fail completely, it will not get an ip address either manually or through dhcp

# lspci
0000:02:07.0 Ethernet controller: Davicom Semiconductor, Inc. 21x4x DEC-Tulip compatible 10/100 Ethernet (rev 40)
|
it worked fine during the install from a knoppix 3.7 cd, heh, i couldnt use the gentoo 2005.0 install cd cuz it doesnt like the hp371 sata raid controller very much...go figure
but i know networking does in fact work, its just not working post-install
what am i forgetting...and ill be happy to post anything else anyone needs to figure this out

Is it a card with dual exits?
I.e. I have a 3c5900 "Boomerang", which has both a 100 mbit utp port and a 10 mbit coaxial port. Since kernel 2.6.12, I had to specify "modprobe 3c59x options=3" when loading the module, because the autodetect on coax seems to be broken.
Maybe you should provide some parameter too? Try "modinfo tulip" for a hint (I don't have the module built, so I can't test it.
Hope it helps.
$.02
*edit: try "modprobe -v tulip options debug=1"
