Help required to configure network card on Fedora 10
Hi,
I have just installe fedora 10 on my system. I am not able to get the OS to detect the network card. Whenever i type "ifconfig eth0" it shoots back saying "error feching interface information" Let me know if any other input is required from my end. Vikyath |
Code:
lspci -v |
What is fedora 10 :scratch:
Ok try running kudzu See if it detects your network card Check in file /etc/sysconfig/hwconf Search for NETWORK in this file and see if any entry is available. If no entry is present then the card is not detected. If an entry is available and driver is not known then the driver for the card is not available. Just post the NETWORK section of that file Also lspci will help Also try "netconfig" to configure the interface. Cheers Zulfi |

Thanks for your help guys!! Vikyath |
Hi,
I switched the OS to RedHat 9. and tried to install the drivers Broadcom tg3 Linux Driver. I followed the REAME file but i get the following error message "makefile :58 Linux kernel source tree not found stoperror bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.82762(%build)RPM build errors" while doing a rpmbuild. The command issued is rpmbuild -bb SPECS/tg3.spec rpm version is 4.2.3 Vikyath |
Why?
Didnt you get a compiled driver? And why have you taken a source rpm.Get a rpm instead and install it. [Or] Check if kernel source is available [I am not sure of this] I should be available in /usr/src/2.4.Version/ directory. Or install the kernel source[it will be available as an RPM in your red-hat 9 CD] and try again. The best way would be to get the driver [it will be a .o file or the rpm rather than src.rpm ] Cheers Zulfi |
Hi,
Could not get the rpm's. Howevere installed a Dlink NIC which worked fine. Thank you all for your inputs. Vikyath |
