 Posted: Tue Aug 19, 2003 2:15 am Post subject: Installation doesn't see eth0 |
 |
|
Please forgive the n00bietude of this question:
The LiveCD brought up my NIC with no problems.
The installation I made (following install.html letter for letter) cannot, despite all my cajoling, bring itself to admit that I have an ethernet card.
The LiveCD loaded the module 8139too.so for the network interface. WHAT DO I NEED TO DO to give my installation the same functionality that library gave the live CD? I can't find anything relevant in the make menuconfig menu and I can't find 8139too amongst my modules. Help?!?!?

| Are you sure that 8139too is the module for your ethernet card? what does the ifconfig command say? |

Well if you are not comfortable with installing a kernel on your own yet or
aren't sure what modules you have/don't have you can try using genkernel.
But genkernel installs a LOAD of modules that you certainly won't need
ever in the future. I use an 8139too card. Perhaps I can tell you where you can find them in the kernel setup.
| Code: | 1. cd /usr/src/linux
2. make menuconfig
3. Come down to "Network device support --->"
4. then "Ethernet (10 or 100Mbit) --->"
5. select "[*] EISA, VLB, PCI and on board controllers"
6. select "[*] RealTek RTL-8139 PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter support"
7. under it "[*] Use PIO instead of MMIO"
8. "[*] Support for uncommon RTL-8139 rev. K"
9. "[*] Support for older RTL-8129/8130 boards" |
Perform steps "7-8-9" only if just step "6" does not work for you.
Compile the kernel as in the install.html that you have been following.
Good luck

Bingo. Thanks. 6 alone doesn't do it but 6, 7, 8, and 9 together do it.
