 Posted: Sat Jan 23, 2010 10:01 pm Post subject: [SOLVED] MCP73 Ethernet not recognized |
 |
|
Hello everyone,
I had a problem with my MB on my Gentoo crunch box, so I had to change it.
I got one with MCP73 and after changing it, I was unable to get access to internet with it.
So I've compiled my kernel (2.6.30-4) with the Nforce Ethernet Support, first in-kernel, without sucess, then as a module and I did modprobe on it, but still without success.
So I don't have any idea how to do it...
I would love some help 
Any idea ? Do I have to activate something else ?
Thank you !

| Double check the NIC; Many nForce boards use, for some reason, extra chips for LAN. For instance my old nForce board used a Marvell chip for networking instead of using the built-in one! |

if forcedeth is correct for your NIC, then you should see errors thrown whenever you try and modprobe it (check 'dmesg') output
If you paste your lspci -n in here we should be able to tell you if indeed this is the correct driver.

Thanks for your answers.
With dmesg, I got these maybe interesting things :
| Code: | forcedeth: Reverse Engineered nForce ethernet driver. Version 0.64.
ACPI: PCI Interrupt Link [APCH] enabled at IRQ 20
forcedeth 0000:00:0f.0: PCI INT A -> Link[APCH] -> GSI 20 (level, low) -> IRQ 20
forcedeth 0000:00:0f.0: setting latency timer to 64
nvidia: module license 'NVIDIA' taints kernel.
Disabling lock debugging due to kernel taint
forcedeth 0000:00:0f.0: ifname eth0, PHY OUI 0x732 @ 1, addr 00:1d:7d:e4:f0:a9
forcedeth 0000:00:0f.0: highdma pwrctl mgmt gbit lnktim msi desc-v3 |
(If you want the whole command output, just tell me)
and lspci -n gives me :

Just before trying Nforce as a module, I've tried to activate everything....without success too...
I'm going to try to find whether it is nforce chips or not. (MB: GA-73PVM-SH) |

k, so i just double and triple checked, forcedeth is indeed the correct driver for your NIC
between the page in my sig, and a grep of the kernel sources, i can say that with absolute confidence
| Code: |
laptop02 ~ # grep -i 0x07dc /usr/src/linux/drivers/net/forcedeth.c
PCI_DEVICE(0x10DE, 0x07DC),
|
I don't see any actual errors in your dmesg output
| Code: |
forcedeth 0000:00:0f.0: PCI INT A -> Link[APCH] -> GSI 20 (level, low) -> IRQ 20
forcedeth 0000:00:0f.0: setting latency timer to 64
forcedeth 0000:00:0f.0: ifname eth0, PHY OUI 0x732 @ 1, addr 00:1d:7d:e4:f0:a9
forcedeth 0000:00:0f.0: highdma pwrctl mgmt gbit lnktim msi desc-v3
|
That's all quite normal, so unless you see other errors after that, nothing pertinent in there (try dmesg |grep -i forcedeth ). So I'm starting to wonder if we're simply looking at a configuration issue; can you please post the output of the following
| Code: |
cat /proc/net/dev
ifconfig -a
cat /etc/conf.d/net
|

Thank for your help.
dmesg |grep -i forcedeth give me the same result
Ohh, you're right ! Configuration problem. It is not eth0 anymore, but eth1
ifconfig eth1 up following by a dhcp on it, and it runs !
How to activate this one and disable eth0
Something with /etc/init.d/net.eth0 to delete and add the new one ?
EDIT : Okay I find on the Gentoo doc how to do it : http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=1&chap=8
I'm going to try.
EDIT2:
It works !!
Thank you so much, both of you. |
