 |
|
Hello,
i've got a brand new dell vostro 200(ST) here at my office.
Since I'm working with linux rather than with windows I tried to install gentoo.
The minimal install cd(install-x86-minimal-2007.0-r1.iso) doesnt work.
It can't find the cd-rom drive.
I've searched and found the kernelOfTruth Image.
The kerneleOftruth install CD boots and it looks altright.
BUT:
I can't configure the network
| Code: | ifconfig eht0 up
> no such device |
lspci shows intel hardware but always with "unknown Device" for everything lspci lists.
So I don't know which module I need and if this module is on the kernelOftruth image.
Does anyone has experience with an Dell vostro 200(ST) (st= slim tower) ?
Windows shows it's a Intel(R) 82562V-2 10/100 Network Connection
thx for any help I can get.
Banana
UPDATE
I' will posting the process in this first thread right here.
For more details read the whole therad.
Booting:
I've got a working LIVE CD with network and stuff with this image:
http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/Ubuntu_7.04#Download_Dell_Ubuntu_Image
Installing Gentoo:
ok working fine with the del ubuntu image.
the only thing is that the network card isn't working.
Installing Gentoo:
I've only managed to install it with put in a seperate network card and disabling the onboard card.
I was not able to detect and start the onboard network card.

| I suggest you to download before booting from that live a stage3 and kernel source, then boot from the live which detects your hd, mount it and go straight on with stage3 and kernel. this way you will be able to boot with a fresh stage3 and a working kernel with the modules you need |

ok, boot and do lspci, then write here the line about your network card
edit: sorry, I forgot your first post, you already gave us your card's name. lemme search into the kernel |

Code:
tar xfvz e1000-7.6.5.tar.gz
cd e1000-7.6.5/src
sudo make install
sudo modprobe e1000 |
I found this on the forum. e1000 should be for the 1000family, but hell, dell support should know it better than me  so, as last resource, try with e1000. sorry if it doesnt work |

EDIT:

but what the hell is:
| Code: | shaper0
Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:00:00:00 |

Then why don't you treat shaper0 as if its the ethernet device and try run 'ifconfig shaper0 up' (followed by 'dhcpcd shaper0').

@hirakendu thise outputs:
| Code: |
shaper0 is not a etherner,token device |
@kernelOfTruth
it shows lo,shaper0,elp ( i'm not 100% sure anymore about the right device names, since the PC is turned of right now)
the only device which has a mac is shaper0 but the values are 00
also the e1000 module is correclty loaded but it does nothing.
perhaps it could be the problem that lspci show at every entry "unknown Device"

have done the dmesg|grep -i e1000 yet? That would at least tell you if the module is loading correctly and attaching to the device. The shaper device is probably related to QOS / Traffic Shaping, and does seem a bit odd...
Also, I have found that minimal install cd sometimes is troublesome, while the live-cd works fine. This is especially true if trying to boot from a usb stick version of the live-cd.

damn. not even a ubuntu 7.04 was able to detect the network card.

also a wlan connection is available but only with wep/psk and this isn't suported by ubuntu....
