Internet (eth0 interface) does not auto-start
Hello,
I am running Mandriva 2005 LE and my network does not auto-start with the computer.
I have tryed hundreds of times to check and uncheck "start network on boot" on Mandrake Control Center. I also have already reconfigured my internet duzens of times to no vail. I also googled without sucess.
Now the wierd thing: On boot time I can see the message: "bringing up eth0 interface ..... [OK]"
So I imagine, eth0 should be up, right?
Here is my ifconfig after boot:
Code:
[root@Lapa felipe]# ifconfig
lo Encapsulamento do Link: Loopback Local
inet end.: 127.0.0.1 Masc:255.0.0.0
endereço inet6: ::1/128 Escopo:Máquina

TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
colisões:0 txqueuelen:0
RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)
As you can see eth0 is not functioning after boot. Going to mandrake control center and reconfigure my internet will bring eth0 up, but just until reboot.
So, what command should I use on the command line to get eth0 up?
Is there a proper init file to put it?
Any other suggestions?
My internet is Cable with non-real fixed IP. The configuration is right cos it works once Mandrake Control Center brings eth0 up.
my eth0 after my internet is working:
Code:
eth0 Encapsulamento do Link: Ethernet Endereço de HW 00:08:54:22:B9:1B

The difference between before eth0 is up and after is:
8139too 22624 0
ummm ... maybe I should bring this module up on one of the init.rd scripts?
Here is before eth0:

Yes..
Try
insmod 8139too
and then
ifconfig eth0 up
I don´t know where to add the insmod 8139too in your distrib?
maybe someone other knows but that should work.

If it works you could create a bash script like
Code:
#!/bin/bash
insmod 8239too
ifconfig eth0 up
make it executable and add it to the init.local in the init dir
I solved my problem with the wifi in this way. |

Actually it didn't work that easy. To start with insmod could not find 8139too, so I located it by hand, copied 8139too.ko.gz to the root documents folders, gunziped the file and tryed to load it.
[root@Lapa ~]# insmod 8139too.ko
insmod: error inserting '8139too.ko': -1 Unknown symbol in module
ummm ... perhaps I could look into Mandrake configuration scripts and see what it is doing to get the module up.
Here is the result of insmod before I copied the module file and gunziped it:
Code:
[root@Lapa dev]# insmod 8139too
insmod: can't read '8139too': No such file or directory
[root@Lapa ~]# ifconfig eth0 up
eth0: interface desconhecida: No such device
