 |
|
Ok, i'm installing gentoo for the first time however i'm unable to get the network to function. I run the net-setup script and configure a static ip etc (which i know to function) and when i run ifconfig -a it tells me that the card is up and running. However i am unable to ping anywhere, not even my local network. My network card is a Realtek RTL8139D and i've tried using the:
"modprobe 8139cd"
comand however it is unable to find the 8139cd file. I ran the same setup procedure on my laptop plugged into the same network and everthing worked fine so i think the network card may not be setup correctly. I've searched through these forums and there is talk of compiling the correct module into the kernel however i was unable to find a description of how to accomplish this.
Any help would be much appreciated. |

Section 14.Final steps: kernel and system logger, of the Install Guide.
| Code listing 14.2: Compiling the Linux Kernel wrote: | # cd /usr/src/linux
# make menuconfig
# make dep && make clean bzImage modules modules_install
# mv /boot/bzImage /boot/bzImage.orig
[if bzImage already exists]
# cp /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot |
After make menuconfig, you'll need to select the correct option for your NIC.
