 |
|
Hi All,
My puter died last week, and so I got a cheap replacement...a sempron 2600+ with a PCChips M861G mobo. Everything seems to be working fine, except the networking. Booting shows that eth0 is recognized, and it broadcasts over DHCP for an IP address. But the IP address doesn't seem to be assigned. running dmesg shows that it recognizes the card and chipset. And everything works under windows XP...so I know it isn't a hardware problem. Any ideas of how to make it work? Thanks!
Steve

try to configure ur network without dhcp
| Code: |
ifconfig eth0 <YOUR IP>
route add default gw <GATEWAY'S IP>
echo "nameserver <GATEWAY'S IP>" >> /etc/resolv.conf |
or maybe running "dhcpcd" |

I did try set it up manually through net-setup eth0...but when I tried to ping the gateway it said "network unreachable"...I'll try doing it manually later though, and post the results.

okay...used net-setup eth0 to setup the network manually...in trying to ping the gateway...got "network unreachable"...the networking does work under ubuntu (the live cd)...and there is a driver provided by the manufacturer (called "rhinefet") which I haven't tried under gentoo yet...other things keeping me busy...but I'll keep ya posted when I get around to it...anybody have previous experience with that driver?

okay...looking around on the net I fould a reference to the need to compile via chipset support into the kernel (as opposed to a module)...can anybody suggest the cleanest way to integrate this into the liveCD install process? Thanks!

I had a problem simular to yours where the livecd did not support my eth card. I ended up having to take a pci eth card from another computer and use that instead.
