General :: Stop And Restart Ethernet Connection Ubuntu 9.10 - Ignoring Unknown Interface Eth0=eth0
Mar 8, 2010
If I uncheck and recheck "Enable Networking" in the Network Manager Applet 0.7.996 I would expect the wired network to disconnect (which it does) and reconnect (which it does NOT). So I tried sudo ifdown eth0 and got

Ignoring unknown interface eth0=eth0.
ifconfig tells me
Quote:

[code]....
so I am at a loss. How do I stop and restart the network interface short of rebooting the machine?
I'm running a dual boot Ubuntu 10.04/Backtrack 4 (Ubuntu 8.10) system. I can get internet in the BT4 side but not in the Lucid side. In Lucid I can ping my router, and the network manager says I'm good to go, but I can't get to any web sites. It all started when I tried to put my laptop on another network by mimicking the settings of a computer I had just unplugged from the network. MAC address and all.
ifconfig eth0:
Code:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:1f:16:ba:4c:8c inet addr:10.136.9.147 Bcast:10.136.9.159 Mask:255.255.255.240 inet6 addr: fe80::21f:16ff:feba:4c8c/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
i install kernel rpm after i boot that kernel network not working kernel name : kernel-rt-trace-2.6.24.7-132.el5.centos.i686 [URL] error "Bringing up interface eth0: Device eth0 has different MAC address than expected, ignoring."
I booted an OS from a live CD. The OS boots successfully but eth0 fails to start. I checked lspci, it outputs these Ethernet card details:
(Broadcom Netextreme II BCM5716 GBabyte ethernet)
ifconfig -a returns only the loopback interfaces lo and sit0. The output of dmesg | grep -I 'eth' is:
"Netfront : initializing network ethernet driver"
When I run service network restart I get:
"Obtaining IP for lo [FAILED] WARNING: Deprecated config gile /etc/modprobe.conf , all config files belong into /etc/modprobe.d/ Device eth0 does not seem to be present, delaying initialization [FAILED]"
The output of MII-tool -v is:
No MII interface found.
I was also able to find the kernel module bnx2.ko. I did insmod and lsmod lists it.
I'm having trouble getting my Ubuntu 10.04 machine (Sony Vaio VGN-SR490) to connect to the Internet by way of an Ethernet cable connected directly to my router.
I'm able to connect to the Internet using this same cable using a Windows machine, so there's something wrong with the way Linux is configured.
How do I got about figuring out what the problem is and solving it?
Here are my network settings on Linux:
$ ifconfig lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host
[Code].....
It looks like the network adapters list is empty. I will now install both Windows XP and Ubuntu Linux dual-boot. I'm still not able to access the internet, even through Windows. I'm wonder if this could be a hardware problem with the computer or a problem with the router itself. Other computers can connect to this same router, and work fine. (That's how I'm posting this after all!)
My network name is eth2 it was changed by some reason and now i got these errors... i installed, reinstalled, re re installed, tried to run the asistant but no luck :/
Code:
* Stopping the Firestarter firewall... eth0: error fetching interface information: Device not found eth0: error fetching interface information: Device not found eth0: error fetching interface information: Device not found
I got two IP's in my dedicated server. Both are external IP's. I would like to make connections using 2nd IP address under eth0:0 interface. For example: when using "lynx whatismyip.com" should display my 2nd IP. How to do this using iptables ?
I'm not sure how long ago this happened but eth0 seems to have vanished from my computer. wlan0 works fine and when I plug into the switch there is carrier detect.
Code: 21:35:43 ~:$ ifconfig eth0 up eth0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device 21:55:49 ~:$ lspci 05:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8101E/RTL8102E PCI Express Fast Ethernet controller (rev 05) 07:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Ultimate N WiFi Link 5300 After that i have no idea where to search for problems next, any ideas would be greatly appriciated (can't spell) ubuntu 10.10
I have set 'ONBOOT=no' in interface script '/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0:2' but my interface bring up at boot time, what is the problem , I have checked it 3 or 4 diff os/machine but the same issue. Can anyone please help me to disable virtual IP's at boot time that network script make it up every boot time.
i have just installed fedora core 12. my pc has 2 lan adapter. 1. onboard rhine. 2. intel card. os has given eth0 to onboard card and eth1 to intel but i want eth0 to intel card and eth1 onboard card.
I found multiple sites explaining how to add IPs to a network interface as virtual interface like eth0:0. However I can add IPs to an interface as well using the ip command: ip a a 192.168.2.2/24 dev eth0 What I want to know is how I can make this persistent on rhel/centos.
5.10 Breezy configured as machine controller. Works great eth0 is a fixed IP to communicate with controller comms board. Not easy at all to alter - the comms board is hard coded to listen on eth0 for commands.
I can use eth1 as the default gateway and ping google.com, etc. But when I now attempt to communicate with the controller with netcat, e.g.
Code: echo !HH | nc 192.168.1.6 80
I obviously never get an answer since the request is passed via eth1. Using the -g option with netcat doesn't work either. I had a look at iptables but it doesn't seem to be able to do what I want. How I can still use eth0 as my communication port to the controller whilst eth1 is the default gateway?
I have two servers on a vlan at my datacentre/colocation and previously both servers had public IPs on their eth0 interfaces. The servers are HP ProLiant DL360s - one is a G4 and one is a G5 The newer G5 is now the LAMP server and the G4 has been retired and I want to repurpose it as an iSCSI target using openfiler freenas or similar.
My G5 has public/static IPs lashed to the eth0 physical interface and the eth1 is not configured to do anything yet. The G4 will have both interfaces available - perhaps one for ssh access from one of my static public IPs and the other to be a private IP on the local vlan. Here is what I am trying to get my head around...
The G5 eth0 - Public IP - full LAMP services on two or three virtual interfaces eth1 - Private IP 192.168.0.1 The G4 eth0 - Public IP for ssh eth1 - Private IP 192.168.0.2
Because my traffic between eth1 on these boxes is via private IPs on the local private vlan it doesn't add to my quota for bandwidth. How do I go about configuring the routing and gateways and other aspects of this so that I can run a private IP space network between the eth1s and still serve the outside world from the eth0s...
I am afraid that if I assign the private IPs to the eth1 interfaces the routing may either not work or interfere with the access to the production internet facing interfaces (eth0s).
On my machine (Desktop PC) I have 2 network card : wireless (rt61 802.11) and a wired card (BCM44). When I install debian 5.
The wired card is detected and logical name eth0 is assigned, while wireless is not assigned I install firmeware* software to configure the card. It is done in some way ( I used mnetwork from mepis, it works fine).
Now the problem: eth0 disapears, and no eth0 inteface found? ifconfig gives just wlan0.
Question: Why there is no eth0, it was before configuration of wlan0 ?
How to active again eth0, or ho to create the logical eth0?
I have already tried reloading the drivers, restarting the interface (which is missing) and every other solution I found on this forum (well... not exactly all of them but many of them) uname -a gives Linux hostname 2.6.35-27-generic #48-Ubuntu SMP Tue Feb 22 20:25:46 UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux
I am running fedora vm under XP host and using NAT connection to the Internet. It usually works fine, but some time the connection is just lost. I went menu System->Admin->Network and see the interface eth0, but I cannot activate or deactivate. The status is inactive. (when the connect works, the status is active). so I try "ifdown eth0" and "ifup eth0" command, and got
"Error: Connection activation failed: Device not managed by NetowrkManger
The menu System->Admin->Network device control show no interface.
I am attempting to install centos5 x86_64 on to an HP Compaq 6820s laptop.It appears the installation has gone ok but I have a big problem in that the centos installation knows nothing about the hardware on the laptop. i.e. it does not recognise the eth0 ethernet card.this means that I have no way of assigning an IP address to the laptop which means that it cannot join the network or the internet.how do you go about getting the correct drivers for the hardware that you are using?
I'm having the same Harker2010 's problem.Running 10.04 LTS on a Dell latitude D-820, and switching between lan and wifi worked OK until last upgrade.Harker2010's screenshots are also valid for my problem. I've tried everything I see on this post but the problem still there.
I'm having an issue configuring eth0. I'm using ubuntu 8.10 in a virtual machine (VirtualBox). The correct adapter is being used and it has worked in the past. I've tried placing eth0 in dhcp through the GUI and bash, but always get a 169 address or 127.
i am having issues with networking on a certain liveCD.all ubuntu installs ive done on this machine im sure work fine, but i may have had issues with older backtrack versions.My issue is no networking on boot of SamuraiWTF, for those unfamiliar its based on ubuntu 9.04 There is nothing except lo loopback when i run 'ifconfig', and there is nothing in /etc/network/interfaces for eth0 either.
lspci shows a Broadcom driver, but the same command shows the model number etc on a newer ubuntu install on the same machine. This is:
Broadcom NetLink BCM57780
I have the latest .tar.gz of the tg3 drivers suggested by Broadcom, but im lost on how to install them.
------------------------------------------------------- EDIT: it seems to be an issue with earlier kernels, i installed 2.6.35 and it worked but the kernel isnt mean for 9.04 i dont think, and now theres issues with the nvidia card
I have two network interfaces on my computer but only one of them is connected to an Ethernet cable. Until now on every Fedora release, the activated primary interface has been named as eth0 and everything has always worked well without any problem. Recently I switched to Fedora Core 12 and surprisingly I observed that for the first time, my primary interface has been considered by the system to be eth1 instead of eth0. I tried to replace the content of ifcfg-eth0 by ifcfg-eth1, yet system gave me an error that there was MAC address mismatching. I conserved their MAC addresses in their files and just replaced other connection parameters ( such as IP ADDR, NETWORK, NETMASK, etc.) but it did't work. When I do "server network restart", the command blocks.
As I try to install oracle on this system, regarding the fact that oracle requires static network configuration on the primary network interface, I don't know how to proceed in order to set eth0 as my primary interface (or rather set the current eth1 to eth0 because it is actually eth1 that refers to my activated primary network card).Just one more time, I would like to remark, that with previous versions of the Fedora Core, on the same computer (with the very same two network cards) I never had problem and I had installed oracle on the system with success, having the statically configured eth0 correctly detected by the system.
I'm using CENTOS 5.5 and I want to connect to internet using 2 pppoe accounts same ISP and i have a sigle NIC eth0.I used adsl-setup to create pppoe connections, 1 is ppp0 and second is ppp1. When i use /sbin/ifup ppp0 it works, i can use the internet, but when i try to use /sbin/ifup ppp1 while ppp0 is connected, nothing happens, i did ifconfig and there is only ppp0 showing.I'm a BIG NEWBIE of linux, i need to know step by step how to make this work, i heard something about a virtual network... but nothing clear.

I'm running fc10 x64 - latest updates. First I could never get wake on lan to work - spent days working on that one. Now, when I restart after a hibernate my eth0 is not re-enabled or recognized anymore. About to give up on Fedora.
I've tried service network restart. I've tried unplugging cable and plugging back in. I've tried init.d/networkmanager restart. Only reboot works.
I've spent so much time trying to configure Fedore Core 10 for a Dynamips server and it's just not ready on some of the essential things like this hibernate problem and also wake on lan.
I had F14 up and running as a server working awesome. I shut it down and moved it. Now on start up, system doesn't seem to recognize my ethernet card...eth0. How to get my ethernet card back online?
I have 2 LAN ports. one from the motherboard (on board) and the other from a lan card i bought a few days back. one is use for browsing the net, the other for a media player.
problem is i cant connect to both the eth0 and eth1 at the same time. i have to disconnect one of them to connect to the other. and this really gets irritating as it doesnt always work as flawlessly as it should. what am i doing wrong?
