 Posted: Fri Sep 23, 2005 4:51 pm Post subject: Missing eth1... [Solved] |
 |
|
I'm back to show everyone I have no idea what I am doing!
I've been reading through all the documentation I can find on getting wireless working without much success... All the documents seem to help configure the card once it is set up, but my problem seems to be that the setup isn't being set up..
there are 3 network cards in the machine, one is PCMCIA so it's not in there all the time.
There is no eth1 or ath0 or other interface other then the hard-wire line..
So, how do I add the eth1/ath0 wireless interface?
The Gentoo handbook had this to say:
| Code: |
Code Listing 16: Creating extra initscripts
# cd /etc/init.d
# ln -s net.eth0 net.eth1
# rc-update add net.eth1 default
|
but that didn't help. Whenever I try iwconfig or ifconfig, they are not listed..
Here's the lspci from the network controller:
| Code: |
0000:00:09.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5212 802.11abg NIC (rev 01)
|
On a side note: For a work around, it works fine on the Knoppix 4 CD/DVD .. I tried to see if I could find out what knoppix is doing and migrate the config, but I know even less about the inner workings there then I do here... Oh well.

You have madwifi-driver emerged and modprobed ath_pci? Try:
If you still don't see your card, then:
Here's my stuff:

ifconfig doesn't list it =(
lsmod always comes up blank for me, for some reason... Is it because I have dynamic loading of modules in the kernel config?

Try the stuff in the above post I edited. It seems like you need to:
| Code: | emege madwifi-driver
modprbe ath_pci |
Is your third network card (eth1 in knoppix) the PCMCIA one ? Do you have a 2.6.13 kernel (uname -r), or earlier version?
.13 and .14-rc's use the pcmciautils and pcmcia-cs-cis packages, .12 and earlier use pcmcia-cs

Thanks! That did it... It works now completely!!
Lessons learned:
I need to re-emerge after each kernel rebuild...
Need to to modprobe to get it working since it's switchable, I think... but it works! =)
