Hi,

I have a little problem with my Pro/1000 PT PCIe network adapter.
As long as I use the driver from the Intel website, all is working properly - the interface is receiving an IP address when requesting it with dhcpcd.

But if I use the driver included in 2.6.24-gentoo-r4, the network card won't get an IP address:
Code:
agph mw # /etc/init.d/net.eth0 restart
 * Caching service dependencies ...                                       [ ok ]
 * Stopping eth0
 *   Bringing down eth0
 *     Stopping dhcpcd on eth0 ...                                        [ ok ]
 *     Shutting down eth0 ...                                             [ ok ]
 * Starting eth0
 *   Bringing up eth0
 *     dhcp
 *       Running dhcpcd ...
err, eth0: timed out
warn, eth0: using IPV4LL address 169.254.168.137                          [ ok ]
 *       eth0 received address 169.254.168.137/16


lsmod shows:

...related information from my kernel .config:
Code:
agph linux-2.6.24-gentoo-r4 # less .config | grep E1000
CONFIG_E1000=m
CONFIG_E1000_NAPI=y
CONFIG_E1000_DISABLE_PACKET_SPLIT=y
# CONFIG_E1000E is not set


...and last but not least my /etc/conf.d/net:
Code:
modules=( "dhcpcd" "ifconfig" )

modules_eth0=( "dhcpcd" )
config_eth0=( "dhcp" )
dhcpcd_eth0="-t 10"
fallback_eth0=( "192.168.137.21/24 netmask 255.255.255.0" )
fallback_route_eth0=( "default via 192.168.137.1" )


As I said, the interface is working properly with dhcpcd with driver rev. 7.6.15.4.
But I just want to know why the 2.6.24 kernel module won't work with DHCP... Any hints?

Thanks
gbr
