 |
|
Hi all,
On a new built system, I have a problem where my Ethernet card is not available after I installed second GPU.
It works if I remove this second card.
Both GPU are NVIDIA GTX 550 TI and are installed in 2 PCI-e slots. Ethernet is a Broadcom Netlink BCM55781 and is onboard my Asrock Z77 Extreme4 Motherboard.
ifconfig only lists lo, net.eth0 script complains interface eth0 doesn't exists. lspci shows that I do have the Ethernet card.
Tried re-compiling kernel with all PCI-e options available which only resulted in System freezing up.
I have UEFI bios and don't see any option to manage PCIe.
Running 3.7.10-gentoo-r1 kernel.
Anybody experienced this kind of issue and successfully troubleshooted it. Is there a option in kernel to handle this in software?
Any kind of feedback or workaround is much appreciated.

Thanks for the pointer Krinn.
My network interface already comes with the name enp4s0, I put it as eth0 here for the sake of simplicity. However, even if udev renamed the interface to something else, should it not show up when I do ifconfig?

Try 'ifconfig -a' as it will show interfaces that have not been configured yet. Welcome to the world of udev and it's unpredictable network names.

Thanks Aiken/Krinn.
The interface was indeed renamed to enp5s0 from enp4s0.
This is resolved.

It bears repeating yet another time: the "predictable"interface-name scheme is completely bogus: the Gentoo documentation should make the strong recommendation that users never use the stupid, problem-causing bus-addressed names.
This fiasco is causing vast amounts of completely unnecessary pain!
I'm terribly sorry you had to go through this hassle. |

If your machines remains untouched the names should remain the same. This thread is not the 1st time a person has reported adding a new card and an existing network adaptor has had a name change. If for whatever reason you remove any network cards and put them back in a different slot you get a new name. Usb wifi adaptors instead of giving wlan0 no matter which usb port they were plugged into now give a different name depending on which port is used.
That last bit annoys me as with the old system does not matter which wifi adaptor and which port I had wlan0. Using mac -> name mapping I would have to map the mac of every adaptor to wlan0 and with the so called predictable names I could get up to 10 different names depending on which usb port is used. So much easier grabbing an usb adaptor and going with the kernel assigned wlan0.

I don't want to blame Gentoo developers for this supposed 'Fiasco'. The must be a reason somewhere. I am more tortured with my stupidity about not checking with 'ifconfig -a'. It could have saved me and other's who took the time the reply a lot of typing.
