Linux Anybody?

[cruesome]

maybe you're on to something sir. do you have an idea where to get the drivers?

i mean the proper drivers on the cd that came with the board are for the windows OS, not linux

so i have to get a tarball of the driver right?

 

thanks so much for the help guys, will post an update again :mtc:

 

you'll rarely need to download and recompile network drivers, chances are you (or the distro) already have them installed (/lib/modules/<kernel version>). post your "lspci" and "uname -r" output to give us more info.

 

or.... it's also possible that the drivers are loaded and the interface is not activated, please post output from "ip l l" --> india papa space lima space lima

 

btw, my replies are non-distro specific

Am already in the process of saving the files for Ubuntu, but I'm not sure if I'll be committed just yet. Maybe when I upgrade my hdd to 750gb, I'll install it and see how it works.

cruesome ...kindly reocmmend a good book for RHEL thanks

 

lomex, i'm not really a rhel fan, or rh/fedora for that matter. I find books from Prentice Hall and O'Riley publishing a lot more detailed compaired to other published materials.

 

i don't remember buying distro specific books, i usually read materials specific to the topics (tcp/ip, perl, etc) tldp.org is still the best source for linux docs imho.

hi sir! these are the output of the following commands

looks like you have a realtek 8139 based nic, fairly popular one. the driver comes default with linux called "rtl8139".

 

this command loads the driver: modprobe rtl8139

this brings up the interface: ip link set eth0 up

this assigns the ip address: ip addr add 10.161.1.120/16 brd + dev eth0 (replace with your IP address)

and the default gateway: ip route add default via 10.161.1.254 dev eth0 (replace with your gateway)

 

just to make sure things are in order: ip adrr list (sample output below)

 

1: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 1000

link/ether 00:11:95:c0:c9:9d brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

inet 10.161.1.120/16 brd 10.161.255.255 scope global eth0

 

let us know if that worked.

I've been using Fedora 7 to 9 lately for some projects. Very good and supports the latest motherboards.

oh man, this is what happened:

 

command: modprobe rtl8139

output: FATAL: Module rtl8139 not found

 

command: ip link set eth0 up

output:

RTNETLINK answers: Operation not permitted

 

command: ip l l

thanks for the help sirs

i'm ready to give up

don't worry, your eth0 is up!!! driver is probably built into the kernel

 

command: ip link set eth0 up

output:

RTNETLINK answers: Operation not permitted

guess you're lacking root privileges

 

 

command: ip l l

output: 1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue

link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00

your network adapter is working alright

 

thanks for the help sirs

then try this again:

 

this assigns the ip address: ip addr add 10.161.1.120/16 brd + dev eth0 (replace with your IP address)

and the default gateway: ip route add default via 10.161.1.254 dev eth0 (replace with your gateway)

 

just to make sure things are in order: ip adrr list (sample output below)

 

1: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 1000

link/ether 00:11:95:c0:c9:9d brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

inet 10.161.1.120/16 brd 10.161.255.255 scope global eth0

check these files as well:

 

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

/etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ifcfg-eth0

/etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default/ifcfg-eth0
