 |
|
HI,
I just installed gentoo linux on my two notebook from mininal CD...
But I still have problem with network interface..
one notebook is compaq presario... network card is tulip (Digital 21*4 Tulip ehternet drirver)
the another one is fujitus s6220 ... network card is "broadcom 440x 10/100).
I'm using gentoo-sources kernel ( linux-2.6.18-gentoo-r3 )... unfortunately,it didn't support above two drivers..
So I need new kernel included it or driver souce for compiling..
though I searched its website, they don't provide that driver!!!
Is there a way to get it? ( gentoo live CD already have above two network driver )
Have a nice day.

You have to select them in the kernel configuration using "make menuconfig".
The locations of these drivers are | Code: | Symbol: TULIP [=n]
Prompt: DECchip Tulip (dc2114x) PCI support
Location:
-> Device Drivers
-> Network device support
-> Ethernet (10 or 100Mbit)
-> Tulip family network device support
-> "Tulip" family network device support (NET_TULIP [=n])
Symbol: B44 [=n]
Prompt: Broadcom 4400 ethernet support
Location:
-> Device Drivers
-> Network device support
-> Ethernet (10 or 100Mbit)
-> EISA, VLB, PCI and on board controllers (NET_PCI [=y]) |

thanks
1. for tulip..
I mad module de4x5.ko.
modprobe de4x5. it was successful. ( I can see it by running lsmod )
( I add "alais eth0 de4x5 in /etc/modprobe.conf )
When I set ip address ( ifconfig eth0 192.168.3.20 ),
I got errors followings
SIOCSIFADDR : No such device
eth0 : unknow interface : No such device.
2. for boradcom 440x 10/100 of fujitus S6220 notebook.
there is no broadcomm section from "make menuconfig"
my kernel 2.6.18-gentoo-r3.. and it is latest kernel version.
I don't know why 2.6.18-gentoo-r3 don't have broadcomm section?
( I installed it via emerge gentoo-sources"
How can I make it to have broadcomm section?
Have a nice day.

but your card is "tulip (Digital 21*4 Tulip Ethernet driver)" and the module for this the one selected by | Code: | | < > DECchip Tulip (dc2114x) PCI support |
The module you have selected is | Code: | | < > Generic DECchip & DIGITAL EtherWORKS PCI/EISA (NEW) |
which is says is for | Code: | | the DIGITAL series of PCI/EISA Ethernet cards. These include the DE425, DE434, DE435, DE450 and DE500 models. |
which, from what you have said, you haven't got.
If you disagree, please post the output from lspci describing this Ethernet card | Code: | | lspci|grep Ethernet |

This could be due to having selected the wrong module, the fact that it loads successfully (lsmod shows it) doesn't mean it is the driver for your Digital chip.
Proof is, after loading the module, to run "ifconfig -a" and see if eth0 shows up.

Look under | Code: | -> Device Drivers
-> Network device support
-> Ethernet (10 or 100Mbit) |
You will then see | Code: | < > AMD PCnet32 PCI support
< > AMD 8111 (new PCI lance) support
< > Adaptec Starfire/DuraLAN support
< > Broadcom 4400 ethernet support
< > nForce Ethernet support |

HI,
I'm using v2.6.18-gentoo-r3 kernel ( emerge gentoo-soures )...
v2.6.18-gentoo-r3 kernel don't have
"DECchip Tulip (dc2114x) PCI support" and "Broadcom 4400 ethernet support "
That's is Big problem to me...
( there are no section "DECchip Tulip (dc2114x) PCI support" and "Broadcom 4400 ethernet support "
Do I have to do kernel patch for both network driver?
Someething is missing While installing gentoo linux?
Below is my screen when I run "make menuconfig"
Below is all for network card configration...
1. for tulip.
Tulip family network device support --->
[*] "Tulip" family network device support
[M] Generic DECchip & DIGITAL EhterWORKS PCI/EISA
2. [*] Ethernet ( 10 or 100Mbit)
<*> Generic Media Independent INterface device support
[ ] 3COM cards
<> AMD LANCE and PCnet (AT1500 and NE22100)support
[] Western Digital/SMC cards
Tulip family network device support -->
<> AT1700/1720 support (EXPERIMENTAL)
<> DEPCA, DE!0x, DE200,DE@01, DE202,DE422 support
<> HP 10/100VG PCLAN (ISA,EISA,PCI) supoort
[] Other ISA cards
[] EISA,VLB,PCI and on board controllers
[] Pocket and portable adapters.
have a nice day.

This is what I have here for linux-2.6.18-gentoo-r3 | Code: | [*] "Tulip" family network device support
< > Early DECchip Tulip (dc2104x) PCI support (EXPERIMENTAL) (NEW)
< > DECchip Tulip (dc2114x) PCI support (NEW)
< > Generic DECchip & DIGITAL EtherWORKS PCI/EISA (NEW)
< > Winbond W89c840 Ethernet support (NEW)
< > Davicom DM910x/DM980x support (NEW)
< > ULi M526x controller support (NEW) |
So you should have it â perhspa not the "Early DECchip Tulip (dc2104x)" as that is labelled "(EXPERIMENTAL)" and you will only get it if you have enabled | Code: | | [*] Prompt for development and/or incomplete code/drivers |
in "Code maturity level options --->"

Aah, you need to enable | Code: | | [*] EISA, VLB, PCI and on board controllers |
and then you will get | Code: | [[*] Ethernet (10 or 100Mbit)
<*> Generic Media Independent Interface device support
< > Sun Happy Meal 10/100baseT support
