    64 bit ubuntu no ethernet

    Hello,
    Have just tried 64 bit ubuntu, but cannot get network to work.
    lspci does show not ethernet controller. Yet cat /proc/interrupts shows it there.
    Searching with google other people have same problem, but no solution.
    It must need a 64 bit force driver or something?
    cheers

    Could you post your hardware specs? There's really not enough information in your original post to offer substantive help.

    according to that pastebin output, your driver is loaded, and the device is up as eth0, how are you trying to configure your network?

    The pastebin was from 32 bit fedora just to show the hardware specs.
    route shows nothing. it does not show eth0 in /etc/network/interfaces.
    not sure what to look for. Here is ifconfig

    Code:
    eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:01:6c:e7:09:ea  
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:64  Metric:1
          RX packets:7 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:11 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 
          RX bytes:3070 (3.0 KB)  TX bytes:391058 (391.0 KB)
          Interrupt:21 Base address:0x8000 

lo        Link encap:Local Loopback  
          inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0
          UP LOOPBACK RUNNING  MTU:16436  Metric:1
          RX packets:216 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:216 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 
          RX bytes:13536 (13.5 KB)  TX bytes:13536 (13.5 KB)
    it does not show inet address.

    I don't know much about networks. But whenever my eth0 is recognised but no address is specified, I try
    Code:
    dhclient
    or
    Code:
    dhcpcd
    .

    if you have dhcp, just edit the /etc/network/interfaces file and put in
    Code:
    auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
    then execute sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
    Alternatively, you can configure it with the network manager application

    Thanks for all that will give it a go.
    I have noticed that the 32 bit version also does not work.
    uname -a shows Linux 2.6.27-7-generic #1 SMP OCT 24 06:42
    This is ubuntu 8.10

    Ubuntu 8.04 is ok 2.6.24-16-generic
