SIOCDELRT: No such device

dimi · 06-15-2003, 09:57 PM

Hi all,

I upgraded my kernel to 2.4.19 and was trying to get the network up and running. But since the upgrade the ether net card doesn't get recognised. When i do ifup eth0 i get the following messages.

SIOCSIFADDR: No such device
SIOCSIFNETMASK: No such device

If i go back to the previous kernel i have no problems with the network.

Would really appreciate some help.

Thanks in advance.

Hi..

If u recompiled the kernel , please check the Network option is enable or not. also check the necessary modules for ur network card is compiled or not ?
