 |
|
Hello all,
I'm having an issue with my NIC that I'm unable to figure out. With the Gentoo livecd, my nic seems to work fine. "lspci" shows that the ethernet port is an Nvidia card, and uses the module "forcedeth". After the install, however, ifconfig only shows my "lo" address. "/etc/init.d/net.eth0 start" states that the device can not be found, and that I could have a wrong module installed. dmesg shows an interesting message about my eth0 and eth1 devices changing names to encp08sp1 and encp09sp1. I believe this is something systemd handles? Also, I did a "genkernel all" for a compile. All the Nvidia modules are turned in on "make menuconfig", and have ran "make modules" for good measures. Could I have configured something wrong? I'm a bit at a loss here, and would appreciate any help I could get 
Thanks! |

what does show? if a wired interface is not shown: what does | Code: | | grep -i net_vendor_nvidia /usr/src/linux/config.gz |
show? if not CONFIG_NET_VENDOR_NVIDIA=m or CONFIG_NET_VENDOR_NVIDIA=y update the kernel configuration | Quote: | Device Drivers --->
[*] Network device support --->
[*] NVIDIA devices
<M> nForce Ethernet support |
and recompile and recopy the kernel.
If you want to keep eth0 wlan0 type nic names add net.ifnames=0 to the kernel cmdline in your bootloader
