 |
|
Hi
It appears that something has gone wrong with eth0. I do have the correct drivers built into the kernel, Intel e1000, but it seems that they aren't communicating with anything.
- dmesg | grep eth0 gives nothing.
- The Intel driver seems to be loaded at boot, but no network, in dmesg :
| Code: | | [4.701649] e1000: Intel(R) PR0/1000 Network Driver - version 7.3.21-k8-NAPI |
- There is no file for eth0 in /sys/class/, only lo and sit0
- /etc/init.d/net.eth0 gives "interface does not exist"
- I have installed dhcpd, and the /etc/conf.d/net has | Code: | | config_eth0 = "dhcp" |
The interface has not been renamed as something else by udev.
Suggestions?

__M_,
Welcome to Gentoo
I have previous experience of cards moving between e1000 and e1000e in both directions.
Look up the PCI vendor and device ID on the web to see which driver you need.
will help.
I get | Code: | | 0a:06.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8169 PCI Gigabit Ethernet Controller [10ec:8169] (rev 10) |
The 10ec:8169 is the vendor and device ID.
on your boot media may help but in the case of the e1000 and e1000e drivers, its not reliable.

Its the Intel I218-v [8086:15a1], on an ASUS x99-a motherboard. Intel I218
I see some other Linux distros have had problems with this in the past. Maybe download the drivers from the Intel website and compile it in myself? |

__M_,
It looks like you need e1000e, not the e1000 you posted.

Ah, thanks a lot.
I just compiled the driver as a kernel module and loaded it
| Code: |
cd /usr/src/linux
make menuconfig
make modules
make modules_install
|
udev did end up renaming it to eno1, so I just added renamed etc/init.d/eth0 to eno1.
/etc/init.d/net.eno1 gives me an ip. |
