[SOLVED] eth0 and it kernel module.

rbeserie · 04-11-2011, 08:53 AM

Hey hey,

I am trying to figure out with kernel module my NIC uses.

Booting from a live debian CD, the eth0 is available. Is there a way to find what modules is loaded to get this nic working ? So that I can configure it manualy on another install?

Code:

# lsmod

From lsmod, I guess it must be e100, (but that is just a gutfeeling.) How can I be certain ?

Hi,

It is probably this one: e100, which would be the Intel Pro/100+.

Hope this helps

Hi again,

Try: lspci (or lspci -v), that would tell you a bit more about the ethernet card.

Although this might not work if it is a module, you could try: dmesg | grep -i eth

Hope this helps.

You can query the module to tell you what it is.
As in:

Quote:

# modinfo -d e100

modinfo ... that should do.

thanks.
