Hi all

Have installed slackware 10.2 on laptop.
Pcmcia card is realtek 8139. Green led is ON, i use dhcp, but when typing "ifconfig" it only teruns the lo, but no eth

I may miss something :-/

Any help would be appreciated !

thx

what happens with root
su
ifconfig eth0 up....commands.....or check your /var/log/dmesg if its not eth0 card

Thx for help.
In the dmesg i can see the pcmcia card is waked up, and all seems to be correct.
But in dhcpd.conf i have nothing, which is curious :-/

Here is what i get when typing :
dmesg | grep eth

What does your rc.inet1.conf look like? Do you have more
than one interface, e.g., is there a built-in adapter as well?

thx for any help. If i cant enable network, i will try slax ... But i prefer to try slackware

Alien Bob · 08-12-2006, 07:33 AM

You say you use DHCP, so then your configuration is incorrect.
Try this instead:

Code:

IPADDR[0]=""
NETMASK[0]=""
USE_DHCP[0]="yes"
DHCP_HOSTNAME[0]=""

# Config information for eth1:
IPADDR[1]=""
NETMASK[1]=""
USE_DHCP[1]=""
DHCP_HOSTNAME[1]=""

# Config information for eth2:
IPADDR[2]=""
NETMASK[2]=""
USE_DHCP[2]=""
DHCP_HOSTNAME[2]=""

# Config information for eth3:
IPADDR[3]=""
NETMASK[3]=""
USE_DHCP[3]=""
DHCP_HOSTNAME[3]=""

# Default gateway IP address:
GATEWAY=""

# Change this to "yes" for debugging output to stdout.  Unfortunately,
# /sbin/hotplug seems to disable stdout so you'll only see debugging output
# when rc.inet1 is called directly.
DEBUG_ETH_UP="yes"

And check your messagelog for errors.

unfortunatly it doesnt make any change

it hangs (during one minute) after this line :
dhcpcd: Mac address xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx

and goes ahead with "Activating hardware detection ..."

I am about sure it comes from pcmcia and kernel. I made a slackware installation on PC and it worked, but with this laptop, it deosnt seem to want :-(

tbl · 08-12-2006, 08:12 AM

just add that booting off slax (livecd) i get all working fine !!!
What does it mean ???

tbl · 08-17-2006, 08:25 AM

i must miss something : if i try to install slackware on another computer, a pc, i cant have my network working ! Last year, i did a slackware install exactly on this pc, and network worked !
I use dhcp, and all other distro i use work well.

Is there something i miss about network, when installing slackware ?

Please, give me a tip
