Gentoo - eth0 works with livecd why doesn't it inside linux?
Hi folks,
I just tried to start installing programs on my brand new gentoo distro but I got stopped when my computer tried to download a file from sourceforge. So I did the usual ping google.com, checked /etc/resolv.conf and did ifconfig. When I try ifconfig eth0 i get: Code:
eth0: error fetching interface information: Device not found Cheers Chris |
Sounds like you missed some support - with Gentoo I'd compile it in, although a module is also an option of course.
Throw the liveCD back in, and do a lsmod, and look for any likely candidates. |
yer i just started the live CD then mount /dev/hda3 /mnt/gentoo then cd /mnt/gentoo/usr/src/linux then make menuconfig then i added the driver for my network card. I then Recompiled the kernel!
:D |
