 |
|
Many people have problems with the ethernet working when they have the LiveCD running and it ceasing to work once Gentoo is installed, but I feel like I have an altogether new error (please show me where I'm wrong).
I'm using the 2006.1 LiveDVD for i686. The ethernet isn't detected at all. I know it works, though, because this is a dualbooty and the WinXP is picking up the interweb fine.
I tried using the networkless install but I couldn't get it working properly. It restricts choices to make it easier on the n00b, but it still doesn't work...what can one do when the "n00b, I'll install it for you" method isn't working.
EDIT:
Real problem found here: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-496763-highlight-rtl8111.html
Can someone explain to me how to go about fixing this? |

NathanBrisk,
Look in to see if rt8169 is listed. If its missing, check that you do not already have an eth0 in.
Donow run the above commands, rt8169 should be listed at the top of lsmod and eth0 should have appeared.
One of the following commands should get your network up
| Code: | net-setup eth0
/etc/init.d/net.eth0 restart |
