Posted: Mon Aug 06, 2007 6:18 pm Post subject: net-setup giving me trouble [Solved] |
|
|
Going back through the quick install I'm going to throw everything I've learned at this and hopefully it will work.... once I get it to start DHCP. It's on a network with two other machines through a netgear wireless router (all three are wired). So I'm starting the install and 'net-setup eth0' starts the setup utility, but after I answer the first question (wired/wireless) it kicks me out of the utility without a word. Funning 'ifconfig eth0' tells me the interface has no address. Whats wrong?

Okay, so I ran dhcpcd eth0 and it did something with no echo. So I checked ifconfig wth0 and it's only showing the loopback address, and net-setup eth0 is still failing to give me any results. |

What is your network adapter. You may need to load the driver module yourself. |

That's just it. net-setup has always worked for me in the past. 8139too is the kernel module, I'll give that a shot.
EDIT:
Nope, modprobing it still leaves net-setup kicking me out. I've done it a hundred times on this machine before, as far as I know nothing has changed.

could you post your 'ifconfig -s -a' ?
EDIT: i mean, it could be a firewire-adapter or something taking up eth0 _________________ "Confident, lazy, cocky, dead." -- Felix Jongleur, Otherland

mh, looking all fine, anything suspicious in 'dmesg|tail' or 'dmesg|grep eth0' ?
if not, then you could just try an 'ifconfig eth0 up' followed by a 'dhcpcd eth0'... _________________ "Confident, lazy, cocky, dead." -- Felix Jongleur, Otherland

Ehh, I took a look, and it seemed fine, but I'm not sure exactly what to look for. ifconfig eth0 up and dhcpcd eth0 went over fine, but I still don't have an address. |

weird weird...
well, dhcpcd should use syslog, so /var/log/* should contain some info as to what may have gone wrong...
'grep -r dhcpcd /var/log/' should give you /something/ that may help...
also check 'mii-tool eth0'. _________________ "Confident, lazy, cocky, dead." -- Felix Jongleur, Otherland

Succes...
Nothing changed between yesterday and today, but I go to boot up and the bios complains that there's a resource conflict. Fiddling around with it I find an irq conflict with the wireless card and the wired card. Since I don't need the wireless card at the moment I popped it out. Rebooted, and eth0 is recognized in ifconfig and it has an address.
Thanks |
