 |
|
Hello
I've installed the gentoo base system following the instructions in the manual, but I'm having trouble with my network card.
During kernel init, when dhcpcd is run
| Code: |
dhcpcd: function not found interface_is_up
|
This leads me to believe I am missing something in the kernel ...
Also, for some very strange reason, ifconfig is not around
| Code: |
$ifconfig
... not found error
|
I thought essential networking tools were included in emerge system
Any thoughts appreciated
-Mike |

'ifconfig' is only accessible as root by default.
As for your networking problem, please post your /etc/conf.d/net file. |

actually I am running it as root. Sorry the quote should have been #ifconfig not $ifconfig
| Code: |
#/etc/conf.d/net
config_eth0=( "dhcp" )

Then something's fucked up on your system.
ifconfig should be in /sbin
Your net file looks fine, but if ifconfig is missing, some other critical components may be as well.
I'd recommed you untar one of the stage3 tarballs to / using the "no replace" option. That should put back anything that's missing without overwiritng what you've got. |
