I use Ubuntu on the laptop and in the manpage for the ip command it has the following: COMMAND ...*As a rule, it is possible to add,** ** delete and **show (or list )**objects, but some objects do not allow all** ** of these operations or have some additional commands.* ... Seems to be vaguely documented - I can see how *(or list )* part can be misleading as you might think they are just saying that show _will_list_ and not necessary that *list* can be substituted for *show* - it's all in the wording! Oddly, the man page for ip (iproute-2.6.18-13.el5) on CentOS 5 is way more comprehensive (it has way more examples on where list can be used) than that on Ubuntu 14.04.1 with iproute-3.12.0-2! But then, Ubuntu has a man page for each ip object: $ man ip- ip-address ip-monitor ip-ntable ip-tunnel ip-addrlabelip-mroute ip-routeip-xfrm ip-l2tp ip-neighbourip-rule ip-link ip-netconf ip-tcp_metrics ip-maddress ip-netnsip-token Cheers, ak. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

PS: There is no GUI, and the command line display is very tiny. Guidance would be appreciated. 1. Get list of interfaces that are up: ip l l Then load the module: modprobe forcedeth Then check interface status again to see which has come up (if any): ip l l If no interface has come up, post the error on screen (if any), then check the logs to see if any errors are reported and post them back here as well. (not sure if on C7 immediately initiates a DHCP request when the interface comes up) Check if interface has an IP address: ip a l If no IP address, then request one via DHCP: dhclient Browse the net... Done! = If no DHCP server on network, then set one manually as indicated below: ip a a 1.1.1.1/24 then bring it up: ip l set up then add a default route: ip r a 0/0 via Browse the net... Done!

Re: [CentOS] Centos7 Net install on HP A1710N fails
Folks: This conversation was trying to get Centos 7 installed on a machine with a NIC that got de-supported in EL7. Following the advice to do as follows: - Install (via CD) the "minimal" ISO - add the RPM of kmod-forcedeth-0.64-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64.rpm from a USB stick, as obtained from ELPRO (install went without serious complaint) I'm at a loss of what to do next, namely - How do I tell Centos that there's a NIC, and how do I configure it? PS: There is no GUI, and the command line display is very tiny. Guidance would be appreciated. David ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

You need the kmod-forcedeth driver from elrepo.org for that device: http://elrepo.org/linux/elrepo/el7/x86_64/RPMS/kmod-forcedeth-0.64-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64.rpm Download and install the driver after installing CentOS 7.

According to the ID pairing, your network device uses the forcedeth driver ( see http://elrepo.org/tiki/DeviceIDs ). Unfortunately this is one of the many drivers removed from CentOS 7. Once the OS is installed (by use of local media, for example), you can install ELRepo's kmod-forcedeth package for el7. But tough luck with the netinstall of the OS.

Remove the grep part and you'll get the IDs for other hardware. Akemi Using the LiveCD for Centos 7, the network was "Unknown". The results of the lscpi command gave 00:14.0 Bridge [0680]: Nvidia Corporation MCP51 Ethernet Controller [10DE:0269] (Revision A3) However, we could not "define" the ethernet controller and make it usable.
