eth0 does not exist gentoo

**Oncle Dave** · 02-07-2006

Hi,

I got this problem : eth0 does not exist

It has worked.

my card is a Davicom Semiconductors Inc 21x4x Dec-Tulip.

I have the drivers in the drivers folder.

I tried modprobe de2101x.ko
it worked.

then I tried a ifconfig eth0 up 192.168.3.3
and I got a eth0 does not exist.

Anyone can help, plz ?

Thanx

What does

Code:

ifconfig -a

say?

**Oncle Dave** · 02-07-2006

if I do a modprobe tulip at each boot, I have eth0 with a good adress and a good subnet mask.

but I can't ping the router

I'd still love to know what

Code:

ifconfig -a

says...

I can ping the router now but I can't use name resolution. I have put my nameservers in the resolv.conf.

If you still need the answer of a ifconfig -a, I will give it to you this evening. I have to go.

If you can tell me how to load drivers at boot, it would be great. I have used genkernel and coldplug. I don't know why he doesn't load them.

Thanx

try editing /etc/network/interfaces and see if there is an entry like

Code:

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
  address <ip_address>
  netmask <netmask>
  broadcast <bcast>
  gateway <gateway>

I dont have a network folder in /etc

**spencerf** · 02-09-2006

in gentoo its /etc/conf.d/net

to autoload modules you would add module name to
/etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6/

you should look at the handbook for specific instructions on setting network settings other than dhcp

well actually not totaly

dns doesn't work and network works for about 30 sec.
if I begin an emerge where he has to dwl, he starts and stops sudenly in the middle.

I have put my nameservers in /etc/resolv.conf.

If anyone can help

with ifconfig -a, I have

etho link encap:ethernet hw-adr:...
inet addr:192.168.3.4 bdcast:192.168.3.255 mask:255.255.255.0
