I did emerge -u world on my computer. I also replaced the config-files that were adding up (see this for clarification (I hadn't made any changes to those files, so I assumed it safe). And now my network doesn't work anymore! When I boot the machine, I get the following error-message when it's supposed to bring eth0 up:
| Code: | *Bringing eth0 up...
SIOCSIFADDR: No such device
eth0: unknown interface: No such device
SIOCSIFBRADDR: No such device
eth0: unknown interface: No such device
SIOCSIFNETMASK: No such device
*Failed to bring eth0 up
*Error Problem starting needed services
"netmount" was not started |
The network-card is Xircom EtherPort Ethernet 10/100+ Modem 56. I have tried compiling support for the card directly in to the kernel, but no such luck. What could I do?
How on Earth did Linux detect the card during install, but now it has no idea what to do with the card?

| could be that you don't have the driver loaded or you don't have pcmcia running by default on boot...did you hear the "two clicking" sounds when you boot up? |

Negative. I used to hear the "PCMCIA-beeps", but not anymore. When I run cardmgr -f it tells it's listening to two sockets and then.... nothing.

Well I'll be damned, I fixed it  ! I noticed that if I did cardmrg -f and then tried to bring eth0 up after the machine has booted, it would worked. Si I then followed instructions I found here, and it started to work ! yay!
