|
|
Hi can someone please help me with this.
I installed gentoo 1.4rc1 on my amd athlon xp system seemingly without a problem. When I booted the new system for the firs time the
bringing up eth0 bit reported a fail
I've tried bringing it up manually up this also reports a fail.
ifconfig just reports the localhost information and says nothing about eth0.
My NIC is a linksys LNE100TX (PCI) and I am currently using the tulip driver and have it compiled into the kernal (i.e. not as a module).
I can't work out what I'm doing wrong so could someone please point me in the right direction, Thanks

try this:
| Code: | rc-update del eth0 default
| then
| Code: | dhcpcd eth0
sbin/ifconfig
| or
| Code: | | wget http://www.yahoo.com |
if it works type
| Code: | | rc-update add eth0 default |
you may also want to just try restarting the eth0 device:
| Code: | /etc/init.d/eth0 stop
/etc/init.d/eth0 start
|
This is just a preliminary procedure. If that doesn't work post more error messages. |
