CentOS 5 Hardware :: Cannot Get CentOS 5 And Agere Et131x Network Card To Work?
May 1, 2009
I just have CentOS installed and cannot get the Agere et131x network card to work.I have tried the following:Reboot the computer and still did not see the network hardware.
We're planning on getting computers with built-in Agere et131x NICs, and were wondering if these would be automatically detected/installed upon installing CentOS 5.3 ?
Agere got purchased by LSI and now LSI tech support claims there is no Linux driver for this card even though the literature clearly states the availability of a Linux driver.I have installed the firewire driver mentioned in other forum posts from ELRepo.
I can't get wake up on lan (wol) to work on my network card.The strange thing is that before I had it working with the exact same hardware. But I was on Centos 5.4 then. Now I am on Centos 5.5.Am I correct in concluding that the sky2 driver does not support wake up on lan?
i like to use my DVB-C Card KNC-One on Centos 5.5 x86_64. But i cant get it to work. on a 32 Bit Centos this is working like a charm. I tryed several different kernels together with the video4linux-kmdl
At the moment i am using this kernel: 2.6.18-194.3.1.el5.centos.plus
I just upgraded from Ubuntu 9.04 64-bit, to CentOS 5.5 64-bit and my RT-73 USB network card doesn't seem to want to function. It always worked fine in Ubuntu by default (plug and play). Is there some setting I need to make to get this working?Even BT-3 (which is quite old) recognizes the RT-73.
I have centos 5.4 with kernel 2.6.18-164.el5, i want know what card for 100mbit or better connection is good solution, some hints for network card? What do u think about this cards?Intel Gigabit CT Desktop bulk - EXPI9301CTBLK or something different for game server?
I add one serical card which is extended to 4 serial ports to my host, but in centos 5.4, only 3 (In my machine, is ttyS1, ttyS2 and ttyS3,ttyS0 is another serial port) of my host can be used, and /dev/ttyS4 doesn't work.
$ sudo cat /dev/ttyS4 cat: /dev/ttyS4: No such device or address
I am trying to get an old IBM 600e to work with Centos 5.5. The install seems to have gone well but I am struggling to get any networking support. I am concentrating on a 3Com 3CCE589EC card which seems to be on the supported list. It works fine under Windows 2000 on the same computer so I believe the hardware is OK. When I insert it the following messages are shown in /var/log/messages:
pccard: PCMCIA card inserted into slot 0 pcmcia: registeing new device pcmcia0.0 0.0: RequestIRQ: Resource in use 0.0: RequestIRQ: Resource in use 0.0: RequestIRQ: Resource in use
Am I likely to have an easier time with a different card and if so which?
I am looking for a gigabit network card for my centos 5.4 server. I am looking for something known to work well with linux. I have been on the bestbuy site and I found a DLink (DGE-530T) card with support for linux from the vendor but after reading feedback from users with that card I am not so sure it is linux friendly. I am now thinking of buying online.
I had installed a Centos 5 server, with one network interface card and work find. Now I want to install ADSL (PPPOE) dial-up for internet in this server, so need to add a 2nd network interface card (RTL8139D or other) . After plug the network card, what I need to do in Centos to find this new card and config it?
My computer have ATI X600 graphics card installed, and I installed CentOS5.3.
Every time I suspend my computer and then resume it, it seem the graphics card can't resume and the monitor says 'no signal', but the system still responses, I can use keyboard.
Is there any configuration I can't do to make it resume normally? I've searched a lot in Google but can't find out any one else run into the same problem.
I've just set up a PC with CentOS 5.3 runing on near identical hardware to an existing 5.2 machine. Motherboard is Asus M2A-VM which I discover by chance generally works very well with CentOS. Ethernet is on board Nvidia.The older machine just did run gigabit speed without any intervention at all, rather to my surprise. The newer machine insists on running at 100 Mbit which is annoying as it is connected to a NAS through a gigabit dumb switch.
The obvious difference between the two is that ethtool on the older machine says that supported ports are TP, and so the port is TP. Whereas the newer machine says that supported ports are TP or MII and insists on running MII. I cannot change this with ethtool -s eth0 port tp. Perhaps not too surprisingly, mii-tool says that the supported speeds range up to 100 Mbit.
I am not very experienced using Linux but I never had big problems with Ubuntu. Now I am busy writing my PhD thesis and therefore I had to install CentOS to use one lousy program that I could not get to work under Ubuntu. However, it seems to be quite fine and it is working well besides one fact: The network card stopped working. In the beginning it was working fine although the speed was only on the level of 100mbit. The switch and the LED on the card indicated gbit connection, though. I tried to install the driver for the 8168 card which reduced the card to 100mbit (indicated by the LED on the switch and the card).
Ethtool indicated it was gbit capable but I couldn't activate it. After reading more and more I figured I have to use the 8169 driver again and live with the 100mbit. Unfortunately, after uninstalling the old driver and reinstalling the driver 8169 the network isn't working at all anymore. The network-manager displays the card as inactive and when I try to turn it on it complains about the wrong mac address, which I am not able to change to the proper one. I am using CentOS 5.5 with the latest updates.
I have just installed CentOS and it is working fine!I made a masquerade with the document there: I didn't used the script, because right now, I do not completely understand it, and obviously I am not modifying anything by leaving it like that.I was using Mandriva before and I am used to graphical tools My questions are:I add the following lines in my iptables:
[root@localhost ~]# service iptables stop [root@localhost ~]# iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth1 -j MASQUERADE [root@localhost ~]# service iptables save
I am trying to get Centos V 5.5 working on my old P4P800 Asus motherboard . This motherboard has an inbuilt 3c2000 1Gbit NIC. I know from previous experience that it does not work with a standard kernel. So as the network card doesn't work I cannot connect to standard repositories. The Kernel source does not seem to be in the main install DVD so have downloaded [URL].. files from another machine. and loaded them onto the local drive. uname -r reports kernel 2.6.18-194.el5 however there are many kernel src files in the RPMS directory and yum install kernel-2.6.18-194.8.el5 through kernel-2.6.18-194.32.el5 report Nothing to do or incompatible achitechture ? I also notice that make install for the 3c2000 tar file I have doesn't work either. I know Centos is locked down more than the previous Mandrake 9.2 Install was under Mandrake a urpmi kernel-source, make install of the driver code and insmod 3c2000 was all that was needed.I am still pretty new to linux and just need some pointers on what needs to be installed and to identify what centos is looking for?
Suppose that it is not convenient to go behind a machine to have a look.So I want to use a command to show whether the cable is plugged into network card. (Media connected or not)Can ifconfig do this? Or another one?
I've installed from the CD the Centos version 5.5. When I try to connect to Internet I can't because I received some errors. I've the Intel Corporation 82801CAM (ICH3) PRO/100 VE (LOM) Ethernet Controller also a wireless slot (I've the wireless card DWL-G650+) When I turn on the pc and I go to "Ethernet Device", I see set: peth0 (Intel Corporation 82801CAM (ICH3) PRO/100 VE (LOM) ETHERNET CONTROLLER) and also set "Bind to MAC address": fe:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff I've set manually the IP address (I'm under router). Status is "Active" but can't go on the Net. When I change to "eth0 (Intel EtherExpress/100 driver)...sometimes become "Active" an other times said that the MAC address is different or to check the cable because can't find the IP. What can I do?
I am using asus p5ld2-x/1333 motherboard,I installed the centos ,Centos saw other drivers but didn't see ethernet card.I am not connection the internet.
I installed CentOS 5.3 on my Shuttle SS-31T with SiS 190 network adapter. While booting the message "Bringing up eth 0 [ OK ]" appears. After booting it isn't possible to surf to an internet location (p.a. www.google.com). It's also impossible to ping other machines in the network. After typing ifconfig everything seems to be ok.
ipv6 is turned off IP : 192.168.0.3 Subnet : 255.255.255.0 Gateway : 192.168.0.1
I have a Centos 5 server on my LAN for testing the websites that i develop.It worked perfectly until this morning , after cold start -up, it seems that my network card is not enabled . Everything works normal:gui and terminal but no internet access. I'll run some commands on my Linux box and write the results , by hand , to this forum .

I have a Centos 5.2 VM running under Windows 2008 Hyper-V. If I add two "legacy Nic's" and bridge them, everything appears to work fine. However, if I remove the legacy nics and replace them with two synthetic nics (linux integration components), the nics seems to function fine UNTIL I add them to a bridge.This VM will eventually be used as a DansGuardian/Squid transparent proxy for a local library. The logical layout is represented by the attached jpg image. I have also included the ifcfg- scripts for the adapters and bridge for both scenarios.It would also be useful if someone else has Hyper-V with the integration components and dual physical nics to see if they can reproduce my symptoms on their box.Legacy Adapters:
This will be a little long (having read Phil's 'how to ask questions' FAQ). I'm trying to get OpenVPN working between my CentOS server and some Windoze laptops running XP. There seems to be plenty of sample config files available, but to date, none of them have worked for me. Pulling out my trusty Wireshark, I've found some clues,
BACKGROUND: My local subnet (NAT'ed by my gateway router) is 192.168.52.x. My router has been configured with a conduit (port-forward) for port 1194 (the standard OpenVPN port), which points towards my CentOS server.The CentOS server is .52.112, and the supplicant is .52.110. I have tried the lient both inside and outside my local subnet, with no difference in events or outcomes.
i have a centos 5 and i cant access to the LAN or Internet because , i cant create a network connection , i try to say My Ethernet dont appears,and i cant add any connections.i id thisTerminal:Quote:sudo iwconfig
I am eager to install GSN3 on CentOS 5 and work on GNS3. But i am unable to find a suitable easy guide to install the same. install GSN3 on CentOS.5 with rpm links if you suggest to download.
