eth0 dissapeared

digital21st · 11-19-2004, 06:56 AM

for some strange reason i can't use the internet AGAIN. i checked the ifconfig settings and it shows no eth0. its just shows the lo details.

i then put my slax live cd in and decided to use that (it has always detected all hardware with no probs) this also could not detect eth0.

i must add all the lights are on

does anyone have any ideas

Is your netcard seen with ' lspci ' ?

Open a terminal and type "dhcpcd" then try ifconfig again.

The DHCP daemon might not be starting when you boot up.

i have tried "dhcpcd" but no luck. i think the network card is not recognised.
i tried ls pci and its shows the two cardbus slots but no network card

ps. its a laptop, using a network card

if it's not listed by " lspci ", maybe just a bad connection.
i don't know for a laptop, can you plug-out & -in the card ?
might help, might not....
