Posted: Fri Jun 14, 2013 10:53 pm Post subject: No wired network driver for Powermac G5 |
|
|
I have the Installation handbook for ppc64 open on my laptop, and I am at step 3. I tried pinging google from the installation environment on my G5, and it couldn't resolve the host. Then I tried net-setup, and it did nothing. I currently have my Powermac connected via ethernet to my laptop (macbook pro) which is sharing it's internet connection. Do you have any advice? |

By NIC i'm guessing you mean network interface controller? lspci -k shows a few things, and one of them says network controller. on the same line it shows the name of my airport card, and it says "Kernel driver in use: b43-pci-bridge". Do I Have to use my Airport? That would be slower. I also see some lines talking about my Ethernet Controllers using the tg3 driver. |

3uc1id,
The kernel modules are loaded. You have two network interfaces using the tg3 driver.
Try net-setup eth0 and net-setup eth1 in turn. I guess you have one of them connected but don't know which one.
I that fails, explain how you expect the G5 to get its network settings.
/etc/resolv.conf will contain the IP addresses of your nameservers when all is well.
Thats why you need to copy it into the chroot from outside. Your ifconfig -a will show one of your ethX interfaces with an IP address too. _________________ Regards,

Tried net-setup eth0 and net-setup eth1 choosing to configure the setting automatically, and neither showed up in ifconfig. I tried setting the IP and junk manually on eth0 and it shows up on if config now, but i still don't have a network connection, so maybe I will try fiddling with that some more. I used the same hardware setup, with the same settings on my macbook pro, when I had ubuntu server installed. It all worked fine then (the ubuntu installer automatically took care of all the network stuff.) |

3uc1id,
Setting up the network manually won't help if a) the device on the other end of the wire is not listening, or b) you set up eth0 but the wire is connected to eth1.
Are you using a crossover ethernet cable?
You may need to.
Is the device doing internet sharing also offering dhcp ? _________________ Regards,
