|
|
Hi!
I am getting a bit mad trying to solve this question. I think it is a kernel issue, not gentoo..
during installer, everything got recogniced ok, but when i finished installing gentoo i coudnt have any net device. Recompiling the kernel allowed me to make the wireless card work, but i didn't have the same luck with eth0.
lspci says about my net card: Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88E8040 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller
I tried to find this card on my kernel .config, witout any luck (can be possible it become unsuported?) i used the .config from the installer, and made it work with kernel 2.6.34 (but not other hardware), and also tried enabling everything that can get close to possible.
I am using now a custom 2.6.36-1.
Any ideas? i am running without more.
Thanks

Try to enable CONFIG_PHYLIB and CONFIG_MARVELL_PHY. Anyway documentation says it is for the 88E1011S card. |

Thanks for the answers!
I coudnt answer, because i just reinstalled everything, and coudn't read the forum.
After reinstall... it seems to work, as i have a eth0 interface, but i dont have the cable to plug in. I have to go this night to a friend's house, and see.... then i can answer if it is closed or not
Too sad, if it works, that i coudn't repair this the proper way (but i had just too much little problems to solve one by one). After carefully installing, anyway, my laptop works fine and smooth with gentoo! (maybe i just messed up something)
Confirmed: it works.... now |
