Kernel compile = no internet

that is short

Are you sure that you enabled hotplug ?

the_sLiDe · 10-11-2004, 06:26 PM

i'm pretty sure, it pauses when bootin up and says checking for hotplug devices or wtv...something like that.

Anyways kernel 2.6.8.1 really sux, its faster in booting but i can't get shit to work so i think i'll just stick with 2.4.26. EVERYTHING works under that kernel!!!!

I'll try just one more thing. Recompiling with all the network cards built in to the kernel, and not as modules. Maybe this will help...

Your not patient

So make xconfig (or menuconfig, what you like)
then go to :
Device drivers --> networking support -->networking device support -->
Ethernet (10 or 100Mbit)-->Tulip family network device support
and enable Davicom DM910x/DM980x support (DM9102)
I suggest you to enable it as module
The module will be called dmfe, so in /etc/modprobe.conf add this line :
alias etho dmfe

That should work, no need to compile all modules, just this one

THANK YOU!! WILL TRY IT!!!

the_sLiDe · 10-12-2004, 06:03 PM

In /etc/modprobe.conf ??? its empty i think....did u mean in /etc/modules.conf??? cuz i think thats empty too...is that a problem or something??? help me out plz... (i compiled with the module dmfe)

Also, when i do dmesg | grep eth0 it says this: ip1394: eth0: IEEE-1394 IPv4 over 1394 Ethernet (fw-host0)

And when i do dmesg | grep eth1 it says this: eth1: Davicom DM9102 at pci0000:02:0b:0, 00:08:a1:10:44:ff, irq 9. eth1: noIPv6 routers present

Help?

Try accessing internet now, it seems your card is being detected.

the_sLiDe · 10-12-2004, 08:03 PM

It seems so, but i have a question. Is it using eth0 or eth1?

gbonvehi · 10-12-2004, 08:07 PM

Well I see your davicom in eth1 so try connecting with that. I really don't know what's being detected as eth0

the_sLiDe · 10-12-2004, 08:09 PM

Its written up there (eth0). Ok here's wuts happening. I have to su as root and then do modprobe dmfe to get it to recognise my ethernet card (as eth1). So what i believe is happening is, because its not picking up the card at the beginning, its putting eth0 as default (and it looks like some firewire thing..). And so i cannot connect to the internet. (i think its trying to use eth0) Thx.
