NO INTERNET...Error, dhcpStart: Interface eth0 is...

[leetsweden]

Hi, I got problem in gentoo
I Installed it and now i got NO Internet to my wired eth0 connection. (DHCP)

Error, dhcpStart: interface eth0 is not Ethernet or 802.2 Token Ring

ifconfig:

eth0 Link encap:UNSPEC HWaddr 5A-3F-02-00-85-A-41-79-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00

/etc/conf.d/net

iface_eth0="dhcp"

It's worked fine on the 2007.0 Live-CD when I installed it...

How do I get it working?

interface eth0 is not Ethernet or 802.2 Token Ring

Sounds like an incorrect or no module is loaded.

How to fix it?

post output of this command so we know what kind of ethernet device you are using

lspci | grep -i eth

if it is a usb device then

lsusb | grep -i eth

[leetsweden]

Ehh... okey

gentoo~# lspci | grep -i eth
-bash lspci: command not found

I Saw a NEW ERROR when I started ... maybe thats the problem

....

This is gentoo.gentoo (Linux i686 2.6.19-gentoo-r5) 16:48:12

gentoo ~# lspci | grep -i eth0
-bash: lspci: command not found
gentoo~#

What are I doing now 0.o

[coopstah13]

thats odd that lspci isn't on the path, especially since you seem to be running command as root, try

/sbin/lspci | grep -i eth
/bin/lspci | grep -i eth

[leetsweden]

dont work....
I get "No such a file or directory" or I get "-bash: lspci: command not found"

[coopstah13]

i guess gentoo doesn't install the package that provides lspci by default, try this as my last attempt to figure out your card

dmesg | grep -i eth

[leetsweden]

Works! But what I see is that eth0: IEEE-1394 and thats wrong! (I Got RealTek (RTL8139 i think) wired network card)

eth1394: eth0: IEEE-1394 IPv4 over 1394 Ethernet (fw-host0)

its just a case of mislabled devices, put this instead in your conf file mentioned previously

iface_eth2="dhcp"
