 |
|
I'm installing gentoo on my new notebook, but I can't get network working properly.
Everything works from the livecd and in the chroot when booted from livecd. When I reboot the computer to the new installed system, network doesn't work at all. All configuration seems ok, ifconfig show correct parameters, but doesn't show my card's hw address (just a bunch of zeros). I therefore suspect some kind of driver problem.
Kernel module r8169 - card's driver is loaded. It's a bit frustrating, not being able to emerge anything under the normal environment, so any help will be greately appreciated.

slivovice,

Check lsmod for eth1394 closer to the bottom of the output than r8169.
You will probably find that ethernet over firewire is getting eth0 and your real network card is eth1.
Use
