RE: delaying eth0 initialization

[Go, Jeffrey]

Hi Bapi

 

I am sorry..I dont mean to frustrate you...I am just a newbie at this aspect of RH...

 

the issues that I am seeing, and what is confusing me, is that, checking the etc/modules.conf, the card is aliased properly..

checking the .etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 file, the file is configured for dhcp,...

and doing an ifup and ifdown gives me the same error,..

 

doing an lsmod command, I do not see the module loaded at all..

 

I will have to play around with it a bit more..

An addendum:

You can edit /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 file, if you need to and then do ifdown ifcfg-eth0 and ifup ifcfg-eth0. Then start network service.

I don't understand why you cannot compile. If you had the kernel sources and headers, you should be able to compile modules with the options I suggested. You may have to play with it a little bit to include the correct libraries you need to compile the module. If lsmod lists your module, then it's in resident kernel memory and it's already loaded. If you alias the device in modules.conf, and that module is loaded at boot time, your card should work, provided, of course, your module is not messed up in any way.

Please do ifconfig eth0 [ipaddr] and then do ifconfig -a to see what's up there?

Also check /etc/sysconfig/ifcfg-eth0 and /etc/sysconfig/network to see networking is enabled.

If you can't compile the driver source, please try to get one from the card manufacturer's website.

You just need to have the kernel headers installed, and if you got the kernel source, good enough. Try the following:

-D__KERNEL__ -DMODULE -DLINUX -O -Wall -I/usr/include/ -D__KERNEL__ -DMODULE -DLINUX -O -Wall -I/usr/include/linux/modversions.h

If it still complains, get rid of the modversions.h. Make sure you have the most recent gnu c compiler.
