Add Kernel Module?

**antidrugue** · 05-02-2006

So everything should be OK. The module is already inserted.

Issu that command for more details:

Code:

sudo ifconfig

OK I did that and it says my inet addr: 127.0.0.1 (which should be the card, right?)

So what do I do now?

Hum... I just saw that:

Following the result of ifconfig, we'll maybe try that afterwards.

OK do you want me to type everything under the sudo ifconfig command?

Sorry for the double post, yes post the whole output of

Code:

ifconfig

You should have at least two devices in ifconfig

One called "eth0", and one called "lo" (for which the IP is 127.0.0.1).

OK, here is what I get when I do ifconfig:
lo Link encap: Logical Loopback
inet addr: 127.0.0.1
Mask: 255.0.0.0
inet6 addr: ::1/128
Scope: Host
UP LOOPBACK RUNNING

Ok, so you don't have a network device right now, but the module is there.

So we can try the solution posted here:
http://www.ubuntuforums.org/archive/...p/t-76452.html

We'll have to pass some boot parameters to the kernel.

So, type:

Code:

sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst

Scroll down until you see a line like that:

Code:

# defoptions=

Add "acpi=off" at the end:

Code:

# defoptions=acpi=off

Then save the file!

And run grub:

Code:

sudo update-grub

Then reboot your machine.

Now the network should work fine.

When I type sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.list I get an error:

(gedit:8455): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display

Try

Code:

gksu gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst

instead.
