 Posted: Thu Jan 29, 2009 3:47 pm Post subject: Realtek RTL 8111/8168B driver |
 |
|
Hello everyone!
I hope I'm placing this right here.
I installed Gentoo on my machine with an onboard Realtek RTL 8111/8169B ethernet adapter, and included Realtek 8169 gigabit ethernet support in the kernel, as this was the only Realtek driver I could find.
When I boot now, I get the following error:
| Code: | network interface eth0 does not exist
Please verify hardware or kernel module (driver)
ERROR: cannot start netmount as net-eth0 could not start |
When I boot with SystemRescueCD, and run lspci -k, it tells me that it uses the r8168 module. But this one is not available in my kernel config.
Kernel version on my install is 2.6.27-gentoo-r8
What should I do?
Thanks in advance for your help 
MfG

Hi,
I'm using the "Realtek 8169 gigabit ethernet support" gigabit in kernel. I've also got the "AMD 8111 (new PCI lance) support " enabled and it all works fine.
One of them is probably redundant, but I cba to find out which one. |

I tried including "AMD 8111 (new PCI lance) support", but it didn't help.
Is there a way to get the driver from the live cd and use it on the local install? |

No one who can help me with this?
There's got to be a way, since Live CDs are working... |

I've been using the r1869 driver compiled as a module with no problem.
| Code: | lspci | grep Ethernet
02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 01)
|
| Code: |
lsmod | grep r8169
r8169 36420 0
mii 5696 1 r8169
|
I do have this line in /etc/modules.autoload.d, but I don't remember if it was necessary.
| Code: | fino ~ # grep 8169 /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6
r8169
