Realtek 8139 eth card help
i have a Realtek 8139 ethernet card. i can't get my network and internet working with it?! there is a module 8139too, which i load but nothing works! i uncommented the device in rc.modules, the module for it was loaded. as i wrote this is 8139too and also a module called mii is loaded and is used by 8139. can anyone help me please?! i have no idea what do i have to do to have internet and lan network on my slack 9.0 :cry:

Welcome to LQ.org! Since this is your first post, I'm going to be as polite as I can. Before you post a question, you should try using the search function here. There are two reasons for this:
1) You may be able to find the answer right away instead of waiting for someone to give you an answer. This benefits you directly. 2) The board doesn't get clogged with the same questions & answers being repeated over & over. This benefits all of us. That being said, I don't think I can give you a solution to your problem, since I generally try to compile a monolithic kernel, and therefore I don't use modules. However if you search for keywords such as, 'realtek' '8139' and 'slack', I'm sure you'll find the answer, as this is probably one of the most commonly used nics. Again, Welcome to the forum, plm. I hope all your linux problems can be solved simply by searching previous posts (it really is much easier that way), but if they don't then I'm sure everyone here will do all we can to give you a proper answer. Enjoy! --- Cerbere [edit] And whatever you do, don't even think about ASKING how to get your mouse wheel working :-) [/edit] |
thanks for the welcoming:) actially i did search after posting the thread, and found a few things, but still i am not sure taht they will help. i will try them and if they don't work i'll return to the forum for help then
|
you can use the command "netconfig" to configure your ip and sth else in slack
|
yes I know i've done that. nothing works?! i have no idea why. the module is loaded. ifconfig finds the device, but i don't have net?! i looked rc.inet1 and everything was okay, but no ethernet and internet... i saw in some previous posts regarding this same matter, and i tried doing some things but nothing is happening. i added
alias eth0 8139too ifconfig but nothing happened, i still have no net |
Wut is ur connection (cable/dsl) ? post in here ur /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1, make sure those file in /etc/rc.d have the permission rwxr_xr_x, if u want them to be run by init during the boot phase, if rc.inet1 is configured correct, it is actually only the matter of calling the /sbin/dhcpcd .. (look into rc.inet1).
U need to manually call "./etc/rc.d/rc.inet1" several time after booting if the connection is not established right away after booting (to check whether it is connected "route -n", if u see ur gateway is filled with any IP than it is connected), that is by me the case, I suppose it is either problem of the ISP or the signal in the cable .. I've 2 dlink 538TX, they worked after installation (slack 9,9.1. But I configured it during the setup .. |
we have a network with a machine under linux that is the gateway and we are sharing a cable connection. i'll check the permission and i'll post rc.inet1 after a few minutes. i know abour the dhcpcd but it doesn't work. it cannot connect to the dhcp server and get the information from there. i'll see what will happen and post the result.
|
Im a linux newbie too so this might be wrong, but i have the same nic and this is how i sovled my problems:
If it cant connect to the dhcp server then maybe its not working becouse it has not been assigned a ip address. do ifconfig -a and see if eth0 is assigned an ip address. if it isnt do: ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.3 or whatever ip address you want to assign to it. can you ping other machines on your network? |
Have you correctly used "netconfig" (as root!) to configure your network? Try using "ifconfig", like other people suggested. Then, if something looks wrong with the config of your network card, run "netconfig" again.
Please be aware that we need more information about your network before we can help you! Hope this helps nonetheless... :D |
U talk about a network, on which machine it doens't work (client or server) ?
On the server the gateway should be configured automatically if u get the connection to ISP (through the /sbin/dhcpc .. command). The gateway of ur server should of that of ur ISP. The gateway of ur client/LAN should be the LAN-static-IP of ur server (192.168..) logically, in case u used 2 nics, it is the IP address of the nic that connect to LAN. See "ifconfig -a" notice the MAC-address to find out which MAC is which eth0/1 .. That is all it is all about in rc.inet1 to tune for, for sharing the internet connection of the server u have to enable it in the kernel of the server, see rc.d/rc.inet2 that is something with "echo 1 >>/proc/... " am not into slack to see it .. |
windsok: i will try to ping the others on our network to see if it works. eth0 has an ip address assigned. i am not sure, but however i don't think i need dhcp, isn't dhcp only when i am connecting to my isp? in my case i am a client connecting to the gateway 192.169.0.1.
Noryungi: yes i configured it properly i think. as root and everything else, i am not sure only for the dhcp and the nameserver. i don't think i need them both. linuxJaver: on my machine(client) i don't have net. as i said teh gateway is 192.168.0.1 and i am 192.168.0.201. here is a part of what i did and what i received: # /./etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 SIOCADDRT: File exists Configuring eth0: ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.201 broadcast 192.168.0.255 netmask 255.255.255.0 here is my rc.inet1: #! /bin/sh # /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 # This script starts up the base networking system. # # Version: # @(#)/etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 8.1 Tue May 28 15:27:39 PDT 2002 (pjv) # Edit these values to set up your first Ethernet card (eth0): IPADDR="192.168.0.201" # REPLACE with YOUR IP address!

can anyone please help me? :(

okay, so if no one can help with the things i've written, i was thinking, would it work if i compile all my modules in the kernel? i recompiled the 2.4.22 kernel on my machine, but when it loads there is somekind of a problem. linux loads, but it's says that it can't find the modules for anything?! /sbin/modprobe ... says that the wanted module cannot be found...;(
|
Yeah but you need dhcp from your gateway if you want to access the DNS dynamically
Otherwise you have to set them in /etc/resolv.conf with static LAN ip |
Start again,
Your card looks as though it's working. How are you meant to get your IP address, is it through dhcp or have you been assigned a static one to enter yourself? |
So,
U configured ur NIC as static 192.168.0.201 gateway 192.168.0.1. That mean ur host is a client of a LAN. Thing that u have to clear are: 1. Whether ur LAN-server (ip 192.168.0.1) had enabled ICS (internet connection sharing, that with echo "1" >>/proc/... within rc.inet2) 2. If that LAN-server configured firewall/iptable than 192.168.0.201 must also be allowed, by standard without firewall/iptable ur configuration looked already ok. Ask also the IP of the DNS server of the LAN-server as well as well as of ISP and append them into /etc/resolve.conf. I don't think u need DNS for getting hooked to internet. |
plm: what kind of machine is the gateway,
has it got two network cards, one for the router, one for your lan? Is the internet actually functional on that box? What's the output of dmesg ? Any error messages relating to networking (either hardware drivers or from ifconfig)? If you run ifconfig as root after boot, what output do you get? Can you ping the gateway? Cheers, Tink |
pPcG5: well i am not sure why, but my ISP actually doesn't provide dns?!:) but nevermind the dns. I have a static IP assigned on our LAN.
Looking_Lost: static ip it is..:) well I connect through windows using static ip 192.168.0.201. without dns linuxJaver: 1. well i think the LAN-server is under SuSe 8.2 ot something like Mitel Networks SME Server. I am not sure what the last one is... Internet connection sharing has to be enabled. i use this server to connect from windows and don't have any difficulties, but i'm not sure about that with rc.inet2. 2. Well i think 192.168.0.201 is allowed!? if it wasn't i think i couldn't be able to hook to the internet using windows. As for the dns, as i wrote i don't think it is enabled by my ISP or LAN-server. Tinkster: well i am not sure about what kind is the gateway. well i think it has to network cards. one is connected to a switch, and i am connected to that switch. and the other to another switch/router, not sure. But the cable modem is connected to the gateway. i'll post the output of dmesg right away. Well i haven't noticed any errors nor from drivers neither from ifconfig (i'll post ifconfig's outpur too). Last night i tried pinging the gateway, but i am not familiar with the linux pinging, but i think i can ping it. i'll post the output:):) |

do you have more then one card on that machine?
I guess you must since you are using it as a gateway. That cards sucks hard. sorry but i really hate it. Was setting it up with another card using tulip.o driver and it just kept bailing(disappearing for no good reason). The module would unload or it would just forget its configuration. It did this in another configuration using multiple network cards too. It has worked fine when used alone but who knows whats up with the multiple network thing. anyhow. GET RID OF IT! IT IS THE EVIL DEVIL. sorry i'm so bitter but i hate that card. go buy a new one for like $10 or trade it with someone or another computer you have on site that needs only one card. I've been doing that and the card does great by itself. ok im done. |
well it's not a bad idea, but i'm having a lack of finances, so i can't afford changing the card. i'm not using the machine as a gateway, i'm using it as a client pc and there is only one network card, the realtek 8139. the gateway i'm trying to connect has possibly two network cards.

ISP - CableModem - (NIC1-SuseServer-NIC2) - Switch - (NIC-yourHost) NIC is ur eth0, so I suggest, try to use DHCP for ur eth0, uncomment the below line in rc.inet1 #USE_DHCP=yes The rest can be let there like it was, then run the rc.inet1 script from the command prompt " cd /; ./etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 " That is actually the same when u run below on command prompt: /sbin/dhcpcd -t 10 -d eth0 Forget about using the kernel u compiled, use that kernel come with slack, if it worked then just try to cook ur own kernel, It worked by me (used 2 nics of them, it worked) .. It is too much thing together, if u compile kernel this time .. |

DHCP will give you an IP address. The name server will tell you where everything else is on the Internet... :) So you need both. |
well i'll try again with the dhcp, but when i tried it the last time when the kernel was loading it said there dhcp timeout, could not connect to dhcp server, ot smth.;( i have no idea
|
Therefore I said u should try it several time, but by LAN connection u should easily get connected, when the susServer is running dhcpd. Can u ask the administrator of the suseServer, whether suse is running dhcpd or it gives only static IPs ?
U can find most answer through the commands above, if not try to boot into windows for find the infos out .. Look like u need to that DNS-IPs to into ur /etc/resolve.conf. Something like that .. search ns1.domain.com search 192.168.0.1 |
in windows ipconfig /all says that dhcp is not enabled. i know that the server gives static IPs.
i'll try with the resolve.conf |
If you haven't already added 8139cp to your blacklist (not 8139too) then you can add it
/etc/hotplug/blacklist and add 8139cp This should be simple :) Once it's rebooted again try doing it manually ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.201 route add default gw 192.168.0.1 Forget about dns the now and try and ping here ping 64.179.4.146 Just to check, you are allowed full access and not meant to specify a proxy or anything? |
okay i'll try that. but the odd thing is that actually i think i have lan! i connected via telnet the server?! but it looks like i can't get to the internet. i'll try this thing with the blacklist. i found it in another topic before. i didn't have /etc/hotplug/blacklist. i was with slack 8.1. now i'm with 9.0. i'll try it right away
|
Well if you can telnet into the gateway server while in linux then I can't see any connectivity problem on your part.
Does pinging an external address by number like above give any output? |
wneh i try to ping the above address nothing happens. it displays PING: addresss... 56... something
only one line. i waited for some time, but nothing happened. if i can't ping it should it display 'timed out' or something?! |
bizzarro.
With the exact same settings you can connect to the internet using windows You can telnet into the gateway server You can ping the gateway server You can't ping outside You don't have any crazy firewall settingss That'd bring me back to whether your gateway settings where right on slackware but...hmm. what does traceroute 64.179.4.146 come up with |
guys I have net!! ;););) i have net! i added the line
nameserver 194.12.244.34 to resolve.conf and i have net!:P i'm happe:) now there are more things to be done!:) configuration of software and stuff like that... thank you all for your help! your the best:))) have a nice day |
Strange that you couldn't ping by ip but alls well that ends well :)
|
:):) it's strange, but nevermind, t'm glad that with help i got it working
|
Ahahah
I was right from the beginning So finally you have entered the DNS server of the SuSE box into your resolv.conf of your slackware I had the same problem with my routeur dhcp off and static ip to my eth0. But as my gateway is a routeur i must enter the DNS of my ISP. But try to ping again your gateway it's very strange it must be an error If now you can telnet and internet it must works Have fun... |
ooh i sure will have fun:):) thks. actually i'm not sure what was that dns server that i used.. . could be the one of my ISP. not' know:) who cares
|
