First off - Hello to everyone
I am using linux for 1 year now but i am stuck here.
I have a sam9g45-based development-board and tried to build the most recent kernel for it, using buildroot. I managed to do that but can't get the network running. I am not sure wether its a configuration- or a driver-issue. Maybe i can get help here.
So here all the infos i have.
1 ) I know the hardware is set up correctly cause the network is working in u-boot.
2) dmesg shows the network-device is found
Code:
libphy: MACB_mii_bus: probed
macb macb eth0: Cadence MACB at 0xfffbc000 irq 41 (00:1f:e5:00:32:cc)
macb macb eth0: attached PHY driver [Davicom DM9161A] (mii_bus:phy_addr=macb-ffffffff:00, irq=149)
3) I added the following lines to /etc/network/interfaces
Code:
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.2.111
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.2.1
4) I bring the interface up using 'ifup eth0' and dmesg shows.
Code:
macb macb eth0: link up (10/Half)
5) But I can't ping.
Code:
# ping 192.168.2.113
PING 192.168.2.113 (192.168.2.113) 56(84) bytes of data.

From 192.168.2.111 icmp_seq=2 Destination Host Unreachable
6) lshw shows this
Code:
# lshw
