 Posted: Sun Feb 11, 2007 7:36 pm Post subject: Eth1 doesn't exist: Solved |
 |
|
I just reinstalled gentoo on my laptop and I can't seem to get my wireless to work. I walked through the wireless settings in the Handbook as well as the gentoo wiki for wpa_supplicant. Eth0 works fine.
When I try and run eth1 I get the following:
| Code: |
Starting eth1
Bringing up eth1
dhcp
network interface eth1 does not exist
Please verify hardware or kernel module (driver)
|
I have both eth0 and eth1 at the default runlevel. I'm not sure what I am doing wrong. Can someone help?

| Have you enabled your wireless card In your kernel, or If you have maybe you loaded It as a module and to start it up manually you need to first modprobe the module. There are a host of things that can case a problems. Can you tell us what you did so far to get your wireless up, have you only read the wireless section in the handbook? Do you know what kind of wireless card you have? etc.. etc.. more information would be helpful. |

I have the Intel 2200b/g driver built into the kernel and I also have the generic ieee80211 stack built in as well. Now when I try and run make && make modules_install I get the following error: This is a piece of the error as it is too long to post.

| Instead of compiling your wireless driver into your kernel, compile it as an module instead. If it compiles without that error then, run modules-update then try modprobing it and starting it up. |

| Ok, I compiled it as a module and now don't get the error. However should I do the same for the ieee80211 stack or should I compile it into the kernel? |
