 |
|
in my inspiron 6000, i cant connect via ethernet cable. I install the kernel module for my card by hand (modprobe b44, lsmod shows the module). From there, i try /etc/init.d/net.eth0 start, and at the dhcp stage i get [!!] for status. This computer is plugged into a wireless router, should be dhcp. Any thoughts? thanx.

sonik thanx for answering
wierdly enough, i get eth0, eth1, and lo when i run that command. eth0 has a wierd hwaddr field that ends 00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00
eth1 seems to be snae, but its not connected.
Im not sure that the linux box from which I am writing this post is configured with dhcp, and it is plugged into the same router as the gentoo box (FC3 worked out of the box).... |

| by snae I meant sane, and by that i mean eth1 has a link encap field of Ethernet (eth0 has UNSPEC), and an Interrupt field of 18 (eth0 doesnt have this) |

Well that sounds like my cisco card's promisc device on wifi0:
| Code: | wifi0 Link encap:UNSPEC HWaddr 00-0B-FD-9A-C4-66-38-70-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00
BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:2312 Metric:1
RX packets:1260676 errors:8296 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:8296
TX packets:867299 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:12983 txqueuelen:100
RX bytes:1428822962 (1362.6 Mb) TX bytes:456339745 (435.1 Mb)

I would assume since your FC works out of the box that DHCP is most definately set up. What happens if you run the dhcp command manually to try and get an IP.
Where the X is the number of your ethernet device.

so before i was just running dhcpcd and it was complaining about not connected.
i ran dhcpcd eth1 and im connected!! Before you run away, how do I get it so this connects automatically. Could eth0 be my wireless card, almost ready to go?
thanx for the help btw. |

If you also have an ipw2200 card (as I do in my inspiron 700M) then yes the eth0 is your wireless card. For some reason that I dont care to explore (b/c it really doesnt bother me too much) the ipw2200 driver gets loaded first and then the b44 so those would be reversed. To get it running when you boot up you could just move your net.eth0 to net.eth1. Just in case you dont know how to do that:
| Code: | | mv -v /etc/init.d/net.eth0 /etc/init.d/net.eth1 |
Make sure to add [solved] to the subject of the post too.

| sonik -- great, i had a feeling just creating a eth1 script would do it. Thanx for your help. I have an intel pro/wireless networking card, but ill worry bout that after I install X (going on right now) and get some other stuff in line. Thanx again |

Thats the card that I have, which does in fact use the ipw2200 drivers. Its easy to get working with just having to emerge the drivers for it
Have fun installing!
