 Posted: Tue Jan 10, 2006 5:50 am Post subject: Network problem during installation |
 |
|
I have just installed gentoo and evrything seems to have worked (no errors) but I can not access the network.
lspci gives me: Intel Corporation 82557/8/9 [Ethernet Pro 100]
so I have added the module e100.
During the installation the network works fine and using lsmod I see e100 is loaded.
After rebooting the system I don't see any errors in the boot messages and e100 is loaded.
if I try ifconfig, evrything seems to be ok I see eth0 and it has the right IP, mask and broadcast address.
I can even ping the card but I can not ping any other PC on my network or the router (I can do that either from the install
CD or from any PC in the local network). I can not access the WAN either.
Any idea of what is wrong? I know it can be made to work since the installation CD works and I can access the network in that case.
Thanks |

| Are you using a dhcp setup or a static IP address on your network? |

Static IP address.
I can not ping the card from any other PC either.

What does your /etc/conf.d/net say
For example mine is
config_eth0=( "192.168.1.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 brd 192.168.1.255" )
routes_eth0=( "default gw 192.168.1.1" )
Did you emerge the dhcpcd package during the installation, is it possible to try and dynamically pull an ip address and see if its just a problem with your static settings? |

Here it is:
config_eth0=("192.168.1.100 netmask 255.255.255.0 brd 192.168.1.255")
routes_eth0=("default gw 192.168.1.1")
I also tried DHCP but in that case it didn't even load eth0.
Here is more info:
currently ifconfig tells me that eth0 has an address 192.168.1.100
I also have a router (gateway) that on the network that has address 192.168.1.1
I also have a PC with address 192.168.1.13
so if I do from the linux box:
ping 192.168.1.100 I get a reply and evrything looks ok.
ping 192.168.1.1 no reply
ping 192.168.1.13 no reply
from the PC
ping 192.168.1.100 no reply
ping 192.168.1.1 OK
ping 192.168.1.13 OK
so this tells me that the linux box sees itself only
the PC see itself and the router (so presumably the network is ok)
The mask on the PC and linux box is 255.255.255.0 as seen using ipconfig and ifconfig commands respectively
Does this help?
Thanks |

This may be way off but with my router it has a dhcp pool of 100-149 so if I were to set a static ip address of 100 it wouldn't route any of my traffic because it would check the dhcp table, notice that I didn't get the ip address from it and then block it to prevent a possible ip conflict. Just in case check to see what your dhcp pool is and make sure your setting a valid static ip address.
Also what do you mean when you try to use dhcp it doesn't load. When you have your comp booted up with the static ip address and you can see your eth0 run
Whether or not your configs are set to static this will still pull an ip address if its hitting the router properly. |

Moved from Installing Gentoo to Networking & Security.
Postinstallation networking problem, so moved here.

I tried dhcpcd the result is that there is a long wait and then if I type ifconfig then there is only the lo interface

Are you sure that your supposed to be using the e100 module and not eepro100, I think you may be using the wrong module but I don't have your card so I don't know. I'm going by what I'm reading here.
I would say try recompiling your kernel with eepro100 just in case its a driver issue with the one your currently trying to use. |

When I use the installation CD, after setting up the network with a static IP address, I checked the modules that were loaded
(lsmod) and e100 was the only module loaded. I think this means that it is the right one. |

| Can you post the results of "ifconfig -a", "lspci", "lsmod", and "ifconfig -a" & "lsmod" from the installation cd where the card is working. |

I can see thet the e100 does not say RUNNING on the hard disk booted system
and the size of e100 is different in both systems
I also don't have mii in the booted system
Any clue?

| Compile that module(mii) into your system seems that e100 depends on it on the installation cd so maybe this is your problem. |

I checked the menuconfig and mii was compiled as pard of the kernel. I think this is the reason why it does not show up
as a module.
Nonetheless I have recompiled the kernel and added the mii as a module. IT shows up now when I do lsmod.
But it still does not work. I think etho is loaded but not RUNNING for some reason.

I am not really sure what the RUNNING flag means and doing a search on it didn't help much.
| Quote: | up
This option makes an interface accessible to the IP layer. This option is implied when an address is given on the command line. It may also be used to reenable an interface that has been taken down temporarily using the down option.
This option corresponds to the flags UP and RUNNING |
Can you try running the following
| Code: | ifconfig eth0 down
ifconfig eth0 up |
And then post the results you see in dmesg. Maybe this will show some sort of an error when the interface is being brought up. |

Done,

Wait when you run "dmesg" after those two commands you don't see anything related to your interface. If I run those commands on my box I get results like the following showing it being disabled and reenabled.
[4298313.334000] skge eth0: disabling interface
[4298317.655000] skge eth0: enabling interface
[4298319.342000] skge eth0: Link is up at 100 Mbps, full duplex, flow control tx and rx |

No no messages at all, just messages about the boot sequence.
Strange

Any more suggestions?
I ahve reinstalled all the software and I have tried also the genkernel withouth any luck. |

I'm not actually sure what is causing your problem. I'm even more confused that dmesg isn't showing any feedback on your interface. Can you post the result dmesg gives you when you rmmod and modprobe e100. Are there any errors there?
When you tried using the genkernel did it automatically load the e100 module? |

After rmmod e100

After modprobe e100
e100: Intel(R) PRO/100 Network Driver, 3.4.14-k2-NAPI

e100: eth0: e100_probe: addr 0xff6fd000, irq 19, MAC addr 00:07:E9:C9:F4:9D
Does it help? |

Everything looks fine there
Try this
| Code: |
dmesg -n 8
ifconfig eth0 down
ifconfig eth0 up
dhcpcd eth0
|
And when the dhcp client fails then check "dmesg" again and post any information about your interface.
I know your trying to use a static ip but I'm just looking for any kind of error that may help. |

In this installation I did not install dhcpcd and I can not currently use emerge to do so.
But here is something interesting I found using the command mii-tool -v
eth0: no link
product info:Intel 8255 rev4
basic mode: autonegotiation enabled
basic status: no link
capabilities: 100baseTxFd 100baseTx-HD 10baseT-FD 10baseT-HD
advertising: 100baseTx-Fd 100baseTx-HD 10baseT-Fd 10baseT-HD flow-control
This is the second sign that something is wron, summarizing:
1) ifconfig shows that eth0 is but but does not say RUNNNING as when I boot from CD
2) mii-tool -v tells me that there is no link!!!!
this must be important, now I have to find out why! I know it is not a card problem or a cable problem
because I can connect if I boot from CD
Does this help? |

I can't remember where I read it but I saw somewhere that RUNNING is a direct relation to the no link so once the computer is seeing that link it should show RUNNING on your interface. The problem now is figuring out why its not seeing the link.
At this point I really can't think of anything worth trying other than using a different kernel. I'd say try rolling back to a previous kernel version or maybe trying a different version like if your using gentoo-sources try vanilla-sources or vice versa. |
