fresh 10.1 install, no net

Seiken · 03-31-2005, 10:44 PM

I did a fresh install of Slackware 10.1 earlier today. After install was complete, I rebooted, tested stuff out, and noticed that I had no net connection.

Example:

Code:

# ping -c 3 www.google.com
ping: unknown host www.google.com
# ifconfig
lo        Link encap: Local Loopback
          inet addr: 127.0.0.1  Mask: 255.0.0.0
          UP LOOPBACK RUNNING  MTU:16436  Metric:1
          RX packets:24 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:24 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
          RX bytes: 1896 (1.8 Kb)  TX bytes:1896 (1.8 Kb)

Running "lspci" shows the following:

Code:

02:05.0 Ethernet controller: Marvell Yukon Gigabit Ethernet 10/100/1000Base-T Adapter (rev 13)

So I guess that's the what the onboard Ethernet is on a P4P800SE. Running "dmesg | grep net" returns relevant. I even ran netconfig again (I say again because it ran once during Slack install) and still have no connection. So this is me being lost

It sounds you've to find which module to load to get it working...

Searching....

modprobe sk98lin

That means, run as root: /sbin/modprobe sk98linu
That will hopefully load your network card, if it works add that line to /etc/rc.d/rc.modules

I'll give that a go tomorrow morning, thanks! It's bed time now

Could you explain how you determined you want me to try sk98lin (or sk98linu, which one is it?)

I simply searched on the web for: Marvell Yukon Gigabit Ethernet 10/100/1000Base-T Adapter
And saw which driver (module) people were using to get it working, and it was sk98lin

modprobe sk98lin worked
