eth1 up failure

ismark · Guest

My PC have two network card, one is Intel eepro100 and one is Realtek 8139.

When I bootup use the gentoo install disc, it was found two network device with no problem (eepro100 assign ip myself & 8139 use dhcp).

After install complete and bootup with new kernel the network device startup have failure :

*Bringing eth0 up....[ok]
*Bringing eth1 up....
modprobe : modprobe: Can't locate module eth1
dhcpcd[2082] : dhcpStart : ioctl SIOCGIFHWADDR : No such device

* Failed to bring eth1 up

I have mark "*" in network device under "make menuconfig".

What's the problem? Who can help me? I am new in "gentoo".

Thank you very much!

Obviously you've put eht1 somewhere you should have put the name of your network card's module

Thank you your reply!

Would you please give me some tips how to do that : "put the name of your network card's module"? What action can I do? Which config files need modify?

Thanks you very much!

/etc/modules.autoload is probably the first place to look.

If you select [*] in kernel's config, it is not compiled as a module. To compile as a moudle you should've select [M].

Don't know if you can assign an alias to a driver compiled into the kernel (if think that you can't, but I could be wrong).

That is why I usually compile NICs as modules, more flexible.
