Slackware 12.2 Default Install eth0 not found
I've read several other threads, but none I've found so far addressed how eth0 was discovered.
I am on slackware12.2, full default install. kernel 2.6.27.7-smp
No connectivity when I boot up, so I went to trusty ifconfig -a
Code:
lo Link encap:Local Loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0
inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host

TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)
No eth0. Okay, let's look at lspci -v. I see my card. First the ethernet card by itself:

Sounds good. After digging around, it sounds like this Gigabit NIC uses drive e1000e
Code:
\sbin\modprobe e1000e
Set up the alias:
Reboot, but no connectivity. No eth0 when running ifconfig -a.
I look to /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
but there is no such file.
So I run lsmod | grep e1000e
Okay, the module was loaded. Great.
dmesg | grep eth
Code:
HP Compaq Laptop series board detected. Selecting BIOS-method for reboots.
Driver 'st' needs updating - please use bus_type methods
Driver 'sd' needs updating - please use bus_type methods
Driver 'sr' needs updating - please use bus_type methods
I can try to update those modules, but they don't seem to pertain to my NIC card issues. Any ideas?

Hello sycarion,
try:
Quote:
/etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 eth0_up
as root.
If this doesn't work, please post the eth0-part of your /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf.

Did not work. here is the eth0 part of rc.inet.conf
note: I cannot assign this computer a static IP address
Code:
# config information for eth0:
IPADDR[0]=""
NETMASK[0]=""
USE_DHCP[0]="yes"
DHCP_HOSTNAME=[0]""
thanks again.

One other note
Forgot to add one more piece of critical information. Sorry about that.
Added /etc/rc.d/rc.netdevice
Code:
/sbin/modprobe e1000e
the module is being loaded when I boot.
Thanks again for any and all help.

It remains unchanged. It still says:
Code:

Hey, guys.
I have a similar question. I have Slackware 12.0 installed (kernel: 2.6.21.5-smp). I can't access network due to my network card not being recognized. After booting the PC and logging in as root I run
dmesg and see this:
Code:
eth0: 0000:01:08.0, 00:0C:F1:DA:3B:CC, IRQ 21.
Board assembly 000000-000, Physical connectors present: RJ45
Primary interface chip i82555 PHY #1.
General self-test: passed.
Serial sub-system self-test: passed.
Internal registers self-test: passed.
ROM checksum self-test: passed (0x04f4518b).
Also tried to find whether the drivers are loaded. Here is the
lsmod output (edited):
Code:
Module Size Used by
ipv6 254496 10
iptable_nat 10116 0
nf_nat 19116 1 iptable_nat
nf_conntrack_ipv4 17676 4 iptable_nat
nf_conntrack 52616 4 xt_state,iptable_nat,nf_nat,nf_conntrack_ipv4
nfnetlink 8856 3 nf_nat,nf_conntrack_ipv4,nf_conntrack
iptable_filter 6400 1

eepro100 30608 0
ata_generic 9220 0
i2c_i801 11408 0
The
lspci command shows such ethernet controller:
Code:
01:08.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB PRO/100 VE (LOM) Ethernet Controller (rev 81)
If I run:
ifconfig I only see loopback adapter;ethtool eth0 I get a No Such Device errors;netconfig - nothing happens (there was and is - loopback adapter only);ifconfig eth0 up - error while getting flags;/etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 eth0_up - nothing happens or changes.Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Problem solved.
Recompiled the kernel (to 2.6.21.5) with new modules to find out that i had this interface configured before. It was just marked as
eth2 .
Forgot to use
ifconfig -a which listed it. Then I changed the name in
/etc/udev/rules.d and now everything works.
Anyways, thank you.
