eth0 disappeared

marciano · 04-30-2010, 03:22 PM

I´ve just upgraded to 10.4
I have to load kernel 2.6.31.20 instead of default 2.6.32.21 (it freezes)
When the system starts up eth0 is missing.
lspci | grep net doesn't display anything
I am using an on board ethernet rj (intel)
Thanks for any help

Have you tried modprobing your network/ethernet driver? It is kinda odd it's not showing up in a lspci though.

Hi, thanks for your answer.

Here´s some additional info
My mainboard is an Intel DG41RQ wich needs r8169 driver

networking restart: eth0 no such device
I have already done
modprobe -r r8169
modprobe r8169

without errors.
I've rebooted but eth0 isn't available

lshw -c network
Result is empty.

I had turned off the computer for some seconds but it didn't work.
Today I also unplugged the net wire and it worked!
