 Posted: Thu Mar 02, 2006 2:47 am Post subject: Trying to get my 2nd nic working (SOLVED) |
 |
|
I compiled kernel 2.6.15-r1 to get it working.
I recently added another nic to my computer because I'm using the first one to connect to the internet. When I only had one nic I connected to the internet with dial-up and shared my connection with two other computers. Everything worked fine. Since adding the 2nd card I can't get it to work. lshw shows : | Code: | *-network:0 UNCLAIMED

I setup dummy0 because eth1 just will not work. I configured my kernel for the RTL-8139 card.
Can someone shed some light on how I can get eth1 to work. By the way, the network will not work with the card configured as dummy0.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you can't just using dummy0. As the name sais, it's just a dummy.
If you do dmesg you can see which eth? is connected to which NIC.
Can you give an output of /etc/conf.d/net. I think you want someting put put in there like this:
| Code: | config_eth0=( "dhcp" )
config_eth1=( "192.168.0.1/24" ) |

I tried those entries in /etc/conf.d/net. And I linked eth1 to eth0 by When I try | Code: | | /etc/init.d/net.eth1 start |
I'm told eth1 does not exist.

| But what does dmesg says? There you can find the name of each NIC. |

| You need to build into the kernel support for your Realtek 8029 card. I think it's the NE2K that supports it. |

Did you do ln -s net.eth0 net.eth1 or ln -s eth0 eth1. If you did the 2nd one then that's (one of the) problem(s). |

I'll have to submit that tonight after I get home.

I built support for the 8029, its eth0. I built support for the 8139 card also. Thats the one that should be eth1.

I did it the first way. I just brain farted when I typed it here.

I did thisand got nothing. I built the kernel with support for my card so I don't have to load any modules, right?

You don't HAVE eth1, which means you won't find anything in there.

8139 does not show up either. I'm thinking something is not right with my kernel build. Does that make sense?

| Are you using CONFIG_8139CP or CONFIG_8139TOO? |

Yes, your kernel definitely doesn't recognize your NIC (showing up in lspci doesn't mean it's recognized by an appropriate driver). As mentioned above, I think you probably enabled CONFIG_8139CP whereas you should have enabled CONFIG_8139TOO. |
