Hi, I know this sounds bad, I must be missing something
really easy
here. I can't seem to start my ethernet interface...
I have a Thinkpad T43
lspci shows:
Broadcom NetXtreme BCM5751M Gigabit PCI Express card
I loaded the Tigon3 kernel module
dmesg shows:
eth0: Tigon3... with a mac address
I have a simple setup in conf.d/net of just config_eth0= (
"dhcp" )
however, when I try to start it, I get the following error:
/etc/init.d/net.eth0 start, I get:
* Caching service dependencies ... [
ok ]
* Starting eth0
* Bringing up eth0
* dhcp
* network interface eth0 does not exist
* Please verify hardware or kernel module (driver) [
!! ]
If I boot with a knoppix live CD, the Interface fires up
fine, so I know
it is supported...
What am I missing?
Thanks!
rick

If this instalation was used in another machine, or you have
another net device,
udev can be putting your broadcom as another number (eth2,
...)
Try
ifconfig -a
or
ip addr
to get all interfaces on your system
If the problem is the wrong id on eth, remove
/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
And udev will recreate automaticaly again.

Good,
This took me a complete day recompiling kernel here, I was
thinking
in problem with Xen or some package... Tried several options
of kernel,
till found eth5 with ip addr... Looked in Google e found the
answer in a
Gentoo forum.
One day lost and it was only a little file...
