Newly Built and no Ethernet


This is possibly simple but probably complex.

I just built a new system today Installes Mandrake 10.1 official.

I cannot bring up eth0.

lsmod output:
via-rhine 17572 0
mii 4224 1 via-rhine

lspci output:
00:12.0 Ethernet Controller: VIA technologies, Inc. VT6102 [rhine-II] (rev 78)

route -n output
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
......Nothing

IFconfig is fine and the NIC shows up on my router.
I can ping my router, but not the internet (www or IP) or another unit on the Lan

The motherboard specification states :10/100Mb fast eternet with external VIA VT6103 PHY

The computer recognizes everything but fails to bring eth0 up
I belive this means i need a newer driver?
and is so do i need to reconfigure the kernel?

Help?

Grim

Sure looks that way. Look up the chipset of your mobo and get the chipset drivers. If that fails, Then get the ethernet driver of your from your board manufactuer and install them. Not to familiar with mandrake. If it takes rpm's then try those first.

Have you tried to configure your network settings in the MCC?

You will have to do this or the connection icon in kicker will keep telling you that the "network on interface eth0 is down" and you won't get a connection to the internet.

If you can ping the router then it would seem to me that you don't need another driver. It sounds like you just need to configure the network.

I think I have a similar problem. When I execute:
Code:
ifconfig eth0 up
I get this error:
Code:
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Function not implemented

I have the same problem here aswell. Although what's more confusing is that the connection works perfectly fine when any other distro is installed. (I've tried four this week)

Actually, I just found the "force no APIC" fix and it worked beautifully! Nevertheless, thank you.
