 |
|
Hi all,
I've just had to add a third nic to my machine, and things broke. I had one set up as null, and my normal nic. I had to add a 3rd for our admin lan, and now whenever I run /etc/init.d/net.eth[23] I get:
/etc/init.d/net.eth2: line 34: /lib/rcscripts/net.modules.d/helpers.d/functions: No such file or directory
* Starting
* no interface module has been loaded
I can manually ifconfig eth1 up. But the startup scripts......
My current conf.d/net config is (Ip addresses changed)
config_eth0=( "222.333.5.77 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 222.333.5.255" )
config_eth1=("null")
config_eth2=("192.168.120.77 netmask 255.255.255.0")
modules_eth2=( "e100" )
Note: I added the modules_eth2 experimenting. What do I need to do to get this working?? The other 2 nic's are broadcom, and I believe I compiled support into the kernel for them. If I didn't then I'm not writing this forum message (LoL)
Thanks for your help!

The error
| Code: | | /etc/init.d/net.eth2: line 34: /lib/rcscripts/net.modules.d/helpers.d/functions: No such file or directory |
comes from the upgrade to baselayout 1.12.4-rX. You need to make net.eth2 a symlink to net.lo â the net.eth0 and net.eth1 will need to be symlinks as well if they aren't already.

Kool, Thanks!
I just upgraded baselayout! From now on, I'll link nic startup scripts.
