Following the posting below, I did some research, the netdevice is a - Marvel 88E1116 gigabit controller. It is not in kernel versions 2.6.23.13/14. Gentoo folks however seems to have managed to get it working. It is certainly working on suse10.3.
If one was able to fetch even a binary can someone advise if devices attached to the pci bus can be enabled via drivers dumped in /lib/firmware (as it is with usb devices)? ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: clfs -x64 net-interface problem Date: Tuesday 22 January 2008 From: b-vol <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: CLFS Support <[email protected]> Greetings, I am having difficulty with the workings of a network interface on a clfs (AMD-64) 64-bit-only setup. The board is by Gigabyte based on the nforce 6100/nforce 430 chip-sets. on booting the following is obtained ########### /etc/rc.d/rcsysinit.d/S80localnet: line 22 ip:command not found /etc/rc.d/rcsysinit.d/S80localnet: line 23 ip:command not found /etc/rc.d/network-devices/ifup: line 72 ip: command notfound Interface eth0 does'nt exist ######## after login: ifconfig eth0 yields: link encap:Ethernet Hwaddr: 48-bitnumber (MAC address) BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU: 1500 txqueuelen: 1000 in otherwords the MAC adddress is recognised but the device is disabled.I have enabled all the obvious drivers 100 Mbit and100 Mbit ethernet devices in the kernel configuration. The host( for building the clfs) was suse10.3 and there the net interface is seen as gigabyte mcp50. and it seems to work OK. suggestions welcomed sincerely bv ------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Clfs-support mailing list [email protected] http://lists.cross-lfs.org/listinfo.cgi/clfs-support-cross-lfs.org
