i tryed net-setup but nothing worked, so ia sked some one on this forum thourgh msn and he told my 2 hours long what to do but could not solve it.mdeininger wrote:i think the new module for the marvell yukon is "skge", and forcedeth is the correct one for an nforce2 onboard nic. did you get any errors when you did this?
also, i'd assume you're still in the setting-up stage. did you try to net-setup the appropriate device? what exactly doesn't work? what's the output of ifconfig -a?
The driver for this is skge.Ethernet controller: Marvell TEchnology Group Ltd. 88E8001 Gigabit Ethernet Controller
forcedeth is the driver for this one but people have reported that this NIC doesn't work until nvidia's own linux driver has been run (sets something only nvidia knows about).Ethernet controller: nVidia Corporation nForce2 Ethernet Controller
so, what doesn't work exactly? you can't ping? you don't get anything via dhcp? can you ping yourself? is the thing *up*? well, jus post the output of "ifconfig -a" and we might be able to help you bettersjengstah wrote:i tryed net-setup but nothing worked, so ia sked some one on this forum thourgh msn and he told my 2 hours long what to do but could not solve it.mdeininger wrote:i think the new module for the marvell yukon is "skge", and forcedeth is the correct one for an nforce2 onboard nic. did you get any errors when you did this?

and no i did not get any errors
but i will try the new module you gave me.
Do you think anyone has written a network troubleshooting checklist? There are so many problems similar to sjengstah's, it would come in handy, don't you think?so, what doesn't work exactly? you can't ping? you don't get anything via dhcp? can you ping yourself? is the thing *up*? well, just post the output of "ifconfig -a" and we might be able to help you better
you're right, maybe we should just start a thread with a checklist for this... actually, i think i'll start one just now, there's tons of "my network doesn't work" threads spawning just now...wynn wrote:mdeininger:Do you think anyone has written a network troubleshooting checklist?

EDIT: sorry for my crappy english
I've been looking through "Documentation, Tips and Tricks" (41 pages!) and there's a reference to this FAQ KC3: Networking worked during installation, but now that I compiled my own kernel, it doesn't work anymore. What's wrong? which covers part of it.maybe we should just start a thread with a checklist for this.
well, it seems people check here first for info on this, so maybe this forum is exactly where we should have one... i just wrote a quick and dirty onewynn wrote:mdeininger:I've been looking through "Documentation, Tips and Tricks" (41 pages!) and there's a reference to this FAQ KC3: Networking worked during installation, but now that I compiled my own kernel, it doesn't work anymore.
