Uninstalling Eth0 through commandline

dsheller · 01-25-2003, 09:30 PM

How would I go about fixing eth0 and eth1 through command line? Whenever I boot up it says that it delays initializing eth0 and fails to mention anything about eth1. I thought that if I uninstalled eth0 and eth1 it would automatically detect them at next reboot so it would install them for me. Reason I am having this problem is because I ran a factory default script for my GallantWEB server and can't do anything through xWindows because it's not installed =/.

You wouldn't necessarily uninstall the eth0 or eth1 but possibly remove the modules for them.

If you give us details on what type of NIC they are it might be helpful, but in the meantime you should read up on these commands:

man insmod
man modprobe
man ifconfig

Thanks for your reply but I guess I just gave up to soon, got it working a little bit later =/. I did:

lsmod | grep ethernet

Didnt give me anything so i did:

insmod rtl8139

Rebooted and it worked, go figure. All that time wasted. =(
