Can anybody help?

Please see the following, in response to your questions: /etc/network/options is deprecated - perhaps? The above files says ip_forward=no spoof protect=yes syncookies=no What does ifconfig eth0 up do? This returns: Eth0: Error getting interface flags, no such device What does the stanza in /etc/network/interfaces look like? It says: Primary network interface auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp cd /lib/modules/something kernel-related/net insmod lance.ko What's the result? Autocompleted the something kernel-related bit, but no NET directory below it. Tried insmod lance.ko, no such file or directory. It looks like my eth0 hasn't been created, but I'm not sure how to rectify that. Any help appreciated. Many thanks, Chris.

Re: Sun SS20/ Etch network problem
Hello The problem you have looks like your network card was not detected, or the module not loaded. Try to do 'modprobe lance' to load the module, then if it works you should see your card in 'dmesg | grep eth' Do you know whcih network card do you have ? In PCI based machines ultrasparc lspci ouputs the content of the pci bus. This might also work on your SS20, althought I think is sbus based. According to this, http://blog.wooyd.org/?p=25, it can be quite difficult to use a sparc32 kernel with Etch. I advise you to saty with debian stable (3.1) Manu Andrew, Chris Mr a écrit : Can anybody help?

The driver module is called sunlance under 2.4 kernels, and I don't see it having changed in 2.6. Anyway like Emmanuel wrote, your network card driver is not loaded, hence no network. When it loads you'll see it in dmesg, in /proc/net/dev, in the output of /sbin/ifconfig -a or /sbin/ip addr show, etc... . -Nicolas Dade -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Sun SS20/ Etch network problem
Hi, all. Last night, I downloaded and installed Etch (latest image from the D-I page at debian.org) on an SS20 with a Sun Lance network card. When I reboot after the first part of the install, I get the message that 'eth0 is deprecated' or something like that. When I do ifconfig, all I see is the loopback address. The network was configured correctly during the install, although it did take 2 tries to find dhcp on my adsl router/ hub, this suggested to me that the card was a bit slow. Could it possibly be that the right module isn't getting loaded at boot? Alternatively, is it possible to slow the network bit of the boot process, to give the card sufficient time to get an ip address from the router? Any thoughts appreciated. Many thanks, Chris.
