 Posted: Tue Apr 06, 2021 12:41 pm Post subject: [solved]Unable to locate Aquantia ethernet kernel module |
 |
|
I am currently booted into the minimal installation CD and am unable to load the kernel modules for the my ethernet adaper.
I have run lspci and found it's an Aquantia AQC107 ethernet controller. Googling its ID, 1d6a:d107, tells me support was added in kernel 4.11.
I have looked under /lib/modules/5.10.27-gentoo-x86-64/kernel/drivers/net/ethernet and cannot find anything related to Aquantia.
Any insight would be appreciated. Thank you.
Edit:
The module is in the kernel, but not provided in the gentoo USB iso.

Johhn.Goblin,
Welcome to Gentoo.
Does do anything?
That's not enough to make the interface work but once it appears in then will start it.

This is only a menu (all vendors are set with "=y"). See next line: "# CONFIG_AQTION is not set" ...  |

returns
| Code: | | modprobe: FATAL: Module atlantic not found in directory /lib/modules/5.10.27-gentoo-x86_64 |
If the module doesn't exist and is built into the kernel, how do I establish a network connection?
Ifconfig does not return a network adapter. |

1. You need another boot CD - try RescueCD, OR
(2. You install temporary another ethernet card into your machine) |

Johhn.Goblin,
try with Linux Recovery System, I see that CONFIG_AQTION is set as module.

Are we having an XY problem here? Does 'lspci -k' show the kernel driver loaded? Does 'ifconfig -a' show the network interface?
