2 nics, no internet after new kernel compile

drinker300 · 10-18-2005, 04:25 PM

Hello,

After a kernel 2.6.13.4 compilation I havent got internet anymore. It is working in the current I am using, 2.4.29. I am using Slackware 10.1 as distro.

At first it wasnt working in 2.4.29. Because I have two ethernet cards in my computer I put this in my /etc/modules.conf

alias eth0 forcedeth
alias eth1 8139too

This was enough to bring my connection to the internet. But when I compiled this newer kernel the trouble began. After searching and asking for help fruitlessly, I decided to use the .config of the 2.4.29-kernel to compile the 2.6-kernel with. Nothing. Both the ethernetcard drivers are compiled as modules.

lsmod when using the 2.4-kernel:

Module Size Used by
forcedeth 9868 1
8139too 13928 0 (unused)

lsmod when using the 2.6 kernel

Module Size Used by
forcedeth 15464 -
8139too 22344 -

That the 8139too isnt being used, isnt a problem. I' ll use that later. But the forcedeth is needed for my internet.

I havent got a clue what is going on. " ifconfig" only shows the NIC's HWaddress, and " netconfig" doesnt help either. running /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 also doesnt work.

I hope you guys can point me out to what is wrong and thus i can fix my internet.

Thanks in advance.

If ifconfig shows the HW address, then the driver is loaded correctly. Is networking set up? What are your network settings?

drinker300 · 10-19-2005, 04:00 PM

Yup, networking has been setup. It is setup to get al the settings via DHCP.

any logs from the dhcpclient?

drinker300 · 10-25-2005, 06:13 PM

Excuse me if it looks dumb, but where can I find any possible logs of that? I looked in /var/log
but there I cannot find anything. Nor any of interest in the output of "locate *dhcp*".

It should be in /var/log/messages. You can try a 'grep dhc *' in your /var/log/ directory in case its not there. Make sure dhclient is running: 'ps -ax | grep dhclient'

'grep dhc *' in /var/log/ returns this print:

Neither does ps ax|grep dhclient gives positive results. I tried editing my /etc/dhcpc/dhcpcd.conf file which didnt change the situation. I also added 'local0.* /var/log/dhcpcd.log ' in my /etc/syslog which gave me zero reply .

I dont know what to do. I might as well buy a router and get rid of the second ethernetcard.
