Ethernet interface not found - eth0
Hi,
I booted an OS from live disk. The OS boots successfully but eth0 fails to start. I checked lspci , it outputs the exact ethernet card details : (Broadcom Netextreme II BCM5716 Gigabyte ethernet) Ifconfig -a returns only loop back interface lo and sit0. The output of dmesg | grep -i 'eth' is : "Netfront : initializing network ethernet driver" When i run 'service network restart' I get : "Obtaining IP for lo [FAILED] WARNING: Deprecated config gile /etc/modprobe.conf , all config files belong into /etc/modprobe.d/ Device eth0 does not seem to be present, delaying initialization [FAILED]" the output of MII-tool -v is : No MII interface found. I was also able to find the kernel module bnx2.ko. I did insmod and lsmod lists it. I am not sure what exactly is the issue or how to debug this problem. Any assistance or pointer will be helpful. Thanks for your time. - Regards , Sethu |

You have done the kernel thing, but have you done the obvious and fixed the WARNING message and placed files in the directory suggested?

Yeah I fixed the warning message, Now service network restart gives,
"Obtaining IP for lo [FAILED] Bringing up eth0: Device eth0 does not seem to be present, delaying initialization [FAILED]" But I dont know how to proceed debugging this problem :( |
Just another thing, can you reseat and / or replace ethernet card?

post result of following after loading the driver
Code:
dmesg | grep bnx2 |
