Gento - LiveCD network problems

[ug0tme]

Hey guys,

I was able to load the e100 driver and get it to see the card, dhcpcd is unable to allocate en IP address, I configured the card manually:
ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.104 broadcast 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
This assigns the IP to the card, but I cannot ping anything at all....

Checking the stats using ifconfig eth0 I see no packets coming in or going out...
dmesg shows:
e100: eth0 e100_watchdog: link up, 100mbps, full-duplex

I was wondering... will a Linksys router have ports set to full-duplex?
That would explain my prob.

Anyone with other suggestions?

Regards,
Sebastien

I cannot get the darn card to work.. I even tried the onboard Realtek 8139 and another intel nic.. still would not send enything over the network.

BTW... my board is using Nforce3 chipset
lsmod shows:
e100 27136 0
mii 3200 0

ethtool -S eth0 returns all RX and TX packets to 0

The cards all work fine onder SuSE ...sniff!

Please HELP Wink

for the realtek nic try

modprobe 8139too

then either config it by hand or use

net-setup eth0 or eth1

depending on which nic it is(the one on the mobo is usualy eth0) then start the nic
