 Posted: Tue Dec 19, 2006 6:32 pm Post subject: Realtek RTL8168 & Modules Issue |
 |
|
I recently decided to install Gentoo on my Asus W3J. I've been a Fedora user and everything is pretty simple with it so I knew this would be a bit harder.
Of course, Gentoo doesn't support neither my lan or wifi card. So I used the 2006.1 live cd and did the GTK networkless install. So now I'm trying to set up my Realtek RTL8168 with the drivers found on the wiki.
I've run into some errors, I think it has to do with the modules. See if you can take a look at what I'm getting when I try to compile r1000.
| Code: | localhost linux # uname -r
2.6.17-gentoo-r7
|
I set it up this way from another forum topic saying to do so:
| Code: | localhost linux # ls -l
total 16
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 490 Aug 30 04:35 Makefile
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1892 Aug 30 04:35 README
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Dec 18 21:07 r1000
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 567 Nov 14 23:09 release_note.txt
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 Dec 18 21:08 src -> /usr/src/linux/r1000/src
|
from the /usr/src/linux/r1000 dir
| Code: | localhost r1000 # make clean modules
make -C src/ clean
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux/r1000/src'
rm -rf *.o *.ko *~ core* .dep* .*.d .*.cmd *.mod.c *.a *.s .*.flags .tmp_versions
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux/r1000/src'
make -C src/ modules
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux/r1000/src'
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.17-gentoo-r7/build SUBDIRS=/usr/src/linux/r1000/src modules
make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.17-gentoo-r7/build: No such file or directory. Stop.make: Entering an unknown
directorymake: Leaving an unknown directorymake[1]: *** [modules] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux/r1000/src'
make: *** [modules] Error 2
|
from the /usr/src/linux dir
| Code: | localhost linux # make modules_install
make: *** No rule to make target `modules_install'. Stop.
|
i've also changed:
| Code: | #ifdef MODULE_PARM
MODULE_PARM (speed, "1-" __MODULE_STRING(MAX_UNITS) "i");
MODULE_PARM_DESC(speed,"Link speed");
MODULE_PARM (duplex, "1-" __MODULE_STRING(MAX_UNITS) "i");
MODULE_PARM_DESC(duplex,"Link duplex");
MODULE_PARM (autoneg, "1-" __MODULE_STRING(MAX_UNITS) "i");
MODULE_PARM_DESC(autoneg,"Autonegotiation");
#else //MODULE_PARM
|
to
| Code: | #ifdef MODULE_PARM
MODULE_PARM_DESC (speed, "1-" __MODULE_STRING(MAX_UNITS) "i");
MODULE_PARM_DESC(speed,"Link speed");
MODULE_PARM_DESC (duplex, "1-" __MODULE_STRING(MAX_UNITS) "i");
MODULE_PARM_DESC(duplex,"Link duplex");
MODULE_PARM_DESC (autoneg, "1-" __MODULE_STRING(MAX_UNITS) "i");
MODULE_PARM_DESC(autoneg,"Autonegotiation");
#else //MODULE_PARM
|
and still no luck.
I think the issue has to do with the modules, seeing how it looks for the build directory but it doesn't exist.
Anyone know what I should?
Thanks in advance! |

yep, just encountered the same problem. Enable the Realtek 8169 module in the kernel config; I just modprobed that and it gave me eth0 straightaway :)
(Running kernel 2.6.18-r4) |

Just as an update:
The corresponding kernel module is located under
| Code: | Device Drivers
-Network Device Support
--Ethernet (1000MBit)
---Realtek 8169 gigabit ethernet support
|
compile this as a module and then try , this works fine for me. |
