Asus nx1101 driver issue
 
Hi, I have a Ubunutu fileserver that runs Ubuntu server 13.04 and kernel 3.8.0-23-generic. I have a problem that my NX1101 network card wont show up as a Eth0/1. When i do "ifconfid -a" it only shows up my eth0(onboard 100mbps ethernet) and lo. BUt when i do "lspci -v" this shows up:


00:08.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8169 PCI Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 10)
Subsystem: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8169/8110 Family PCI Gigabit Ethernet NIC
Flags: bus master, 66MHz, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 10
I/O ports at e000 [size=256]
Memory at e3012000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=256]
[virtual] Expansion ROM at 40000000 [disabled] [size=64K]
Capabilities: <access denied>



--no driver
and this is my eth0:

00:12.0 Ethernet controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT6102 [Rhine-II] (rev 78)
Subsystem: Micro-Star International Co., Ltd. Device 7142
Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 23

Kernel driver in use: via-rhine


--if any1 could help me I would be very thankful :)

The RTL8169 should run on any distro out of the box. Have you looked for error messages in the logs and dmesg?

dowakeen 07-23-2013 10:53 AM

no, i havent. Can you work me trough?

Open a terminal, type
Code:

sudo dmesg|less
and press Enter. Look for errors regarding the network in the log that shows up and post them here.

Nothing in that excerpt of the log is related to the network or an error. Also, please use code-tags to post output of commands.

Frustrated
 
then what to do now?

TobiSGD 07-24-2013 06:03 AM

Have you looked in the complete output errors? What you posted was only a small excerpt of it.

dowakeen 07-30-2013 07:20 AM

fixed - sort of
 
I got tired of trying to fix the card.. so i put it in another server that is not set up and reinstalled ubuntu 12.04 and it detected the card and it works completly fine now :D but smb is still transfering at speeds max 11 mbps... so it sounds that smb is running at just 100mbps... but i checked if the card was setup at 1000mbps and it is... anyone have any idea of why im getting so low speeds?
