I am writing a new lightweight Linux distibution mainly for educational purposes. I have a problem; it won't find any ethernet cards. I have tried enabling several things in the kernel config. What I would really like to know is how to enable some generic ethernet drivers and therefore networking. I would like to avoid having to use modules. I'm using kernel version 2.6.35.1.
I'm looking for drivers for a some ethernet cards: 02:07.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+ [10ec: 8139] (rev 10) Macronix, Inc. [MXIC] MX987x5 [10d9:0531] (rev 25) and Dlink dfe-538tx
I found some drivers at: Realtek These are for the Realtek card. They are: UnixWare 7.1.x and SCO Unix 5.0.X Which one would I use for Debian Lenny? I couldn't find any for the Macronix I found this site for dlink: ftp://ftp.dlink.com/NIC/dfe538tx/Driver/Linux/
[Code]...
I'm not sure what to do with the dlink. I'm not familiar with Linux drivers. I don't know if this is the right way to go or if there are drivers for linux already.
I need a way to find out what my dhcp vendor-class or vendor string is on a device. I want to take a client and based on the vendor string (if I can get what that string is) set up a pool for it.
On the ia64 cluster (10 Xeon quad) I use in my job, (Cent OS): After some software upgrade by vendor, ethernet interface went wrong. On boot, message says MAC is different from expected ignoring.
ifconfig cannot see interface at all! (so that I cannot tell whether MAC in config script is correct). ifconfig eth0 hw ether 00:01:02:03:04:05:06 fails, saying no such a device. lshw is not equipped. lspci can detect interface.
As network interface is down, vendor cannot log onto the cluster. LED at lan cable connector is NOT on.
Is there any other way to know MAC? Is interface hardware down?
i have ubuntu 10.10 64b and for some reason last night the wired network autoeth01 suddenly will not connect to my router. it is a dual boot machine so i booted into windows and it is working fine in that OS.
I then had a look at the status on my laptop running ubuntu 10.10 32b and that was showing the same message "wired network autoeth01 disconnected" i cannot for the life of me figure this out. just before it was disconnected i had been copying 7gigs worth of data using samba from the 32b machine to the 64 bit machine.
i have tried deleting the wired entry and recreating it.
tried different cables
even changed the router
works with all windows machines connected to network
here is what comes up in lfconfig:
jason@ubuntu1:~$ lfconfig No command 'lfconfig' found, did you mean: Command 'fconfig' from package 'redboot-tools' (main) Command 'ifconfig' from package 'net-tools' (main) Command 'ldconfig' from package 'libc-bin' (main)
I've installed OpenSUSE 11.2 on my computer. Well, 11.2 is great and all, but issuing ifconfig yields only loopback device. Now, I have OpenSUSE 11.0 installed on my notebook; the system works fine, although I had that very problem initially and had to recompile the kernel in order to make it recognize my notebook's ethernet card. My question is: If I upgrade my notebook's 11.0 up to 11.2, am I sure to have my files intact? Is 11.2 sure to "see" the ethernet card?
i have 2 nic's that use the same 8139too module to be operated.so in order to run them i added in /etc/modprobe.d/a file with 2 aliases for the 2 nics alias eth0 8139too alias eth1 8139too and I added a udev rule to give the name eth1 to the 2nd card (the 1st card already had a rule) i still don't get the 2nd rule to be brought up automatically at start up... ifconfig only returns 'eth0' and i have to manually do 'ifconfig eth1 up' at which time the interface is brought up nicely.. then i do a dchpcd to get a network address and im all set. but i would like to do this automatically... note that i know that if i add static ips in /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf i will get both ifs up... but i wonder how its gonna happen with the 2nics being 2 dhcp clients.
I recently bought a used Server (FSC RX200 S4) and set it up running Debian 7. Being used to Ubuntu, that was no big deal. It works as it should out of the box. This magic computing machine has four Network cards (eth0 - eth3). Now, I want to set it up as a multi-purpose server. On the one hand, it shall provide a Apache2 webserve, a SQL Server, a File/Streaming Server and so on. I have no problems setting up these.
On the other hand, it should work as a DHCP server in my local lan with some PCs and a printer/scanner. Until now, my cheap router did that job including to connecting me to the internet. Since I can't really set up a proper firewall with that box, I want to use my server for that.
Thats's my desired setup I want to achieve: [] Router provides internet connection to Server --> cable goes into eth0 [] Server therefore has a internet connection --> Some internal magic routes the internet from eth0 to eth1 (preferably as a iptables setup) and does the Firwall & DHCP Service --> cable goes from eth1 to a switch --> switch connects the PCs and printer [] PCs have internet and I can use the printer
So far so good, here's what I've come up with. I installed dnsmasq and isc-dhcp-server. I got some config files for both. I got a script to set up my iptables
Iptables script: Code: Select all#!/bin/sh # # rc.firewall # firewall with iptables ... stronger version # FWVER=0.88s
echo -e " Loading STRONGER rc.firewall - version $FWVER..
[CODE].....
When starting up the services, I don't see any errors. Still, it doesn't work. My Server loses its internet connection and the PCs connected to the network are unreachable.
Ok, so I've gotten tired of my router, and I've decided to make my own using IPFire as the OS. Right now I'm looking for ethernet cards that I can use for the green network, but I don't know if I can use 2 for the same network. I'm trying to get 4 ports at 1000 Mbs, and the only thing I've been able to find so far that's within my price range is a card from startech that has 2 ports, but would I be able to use 2 for the green network?
I'm running Ubuntu 9.0.4 with an Intel PRO/100 VE Network Connection. I have been trying for a couple weeks now different techniques to get my wired ethernet connection working properly. I have a seeming common issue with my e100 driver dropping connection and having hard time picking it back up sometimes. I want to purchase a relatively inexpensive Ethernet card whose generic Linux driver actually operates it CORRECTLY, open up comp and put it in, and update to 9.10. Any list of Ethernet cards that are know to work flawlessly on Ubuntu, or at least tell me which card YOU are using that works perfect without having to write code, install wrapper programs, etc...?
I have two motherboards, MSI-6702 (64 bit single channel) and MSI-7511 (64 bit dual channel), I have two identical D-Link wireless cards and am running Kubuntu 10.10 on both systems. 7511 recognizes both wireless cards and connects to the Internet.The 6702 shows wireless grayed out on the connections page. The built-in Ethernet card has given out on both. I think I disabled it on the first system to have an Ethernet problem and wonder if I need to do it on the second. I would have tried it already but can' t remember how.
I want to share the wireless connection from an Ubuntu machine with an old lap top via the wired Ethernet cards. the old laptop doesn't have wire less. the Ubuntu machine is 10.04 LTS -the Lucid Lynx.
I would like to get my Slackware 11 to work with the Broadcom NetLink BCM5787 onboard Ethernet Cards (x2). I have downloaded the tg3 driver from the Broadcom site. I copied and extracted the driver onto the Linux harddisk. When I wanted to build it I got the message, tg3_compat.h: error : redefinition of 'msecs_to_jiffies'previous delay.h : error: definition 'msecs_to jiffies" was here"
After using fedora 11 for a month or two now the ethernet gave out on me tonight. However if I switch to my ubuntu or windows XP install it runs fine. I made no recent changes to network connections, and no installed programs that should effect it.
I have tried, restarting, older kernel, restarting services, and clearing the DNS Cache. The specific error I get is that "Firefox can't find the server", and most other applications return similar. I can however ping websites still. All other computers on the network are running fine, and booting into another system the internet will work. Just not for fedora.
If I give "ifconfig" in my laptop I get eth0,lo,wlan0.In that where do I find my Ip address in Ubuntu in 10.04. In eth0 I dont find inet address.Where can I find it?
I am new for Linux, my job is developing USB device on fedora Linux.The USB device driver has been completed successfully.my question is:how can I apply a new vendor Id (VID) for fedora kernel, so that my latest driver will be updated automatically when the Linux kernel was updated.
I have a usb device that is setup to use a networking interface. When I connect the usb device, ifconfig automatically shows a new interface "usbX", and it has an assigned IP address, e.g. "192.168.X.1" - yes, the "X" is the same number between the address and the interface name. Each time I connect the usb device, it gets a different ip address...
192.168.9.1, 192.168.10.1, etc (actually the device address ends in .2, the PC is .1) How do I configure this device to always have the same address? Or maybe it's more accurate to ask, how do I configure linux to always assign the network address with this device?
