[gentoo-user] Net work cards
Hi all I am doing a new Gentoo installation and I cannot get my network cards to work. I have two cards 1) eth0 = Realtek RLTl8111e 2) wlan0 = RaLink RT2561/RT61 Gen Kernel has support for both. Please advise me as to what steps I can take to fix this?

Are the kernel modules for your network desvices loaded? What's the output of ifconfig -a? signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

If you are doing an install, you are probably following the handbook. The relevant chapter is: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-amd64.xml?part=1chap=7 For the folks here to be of much use to you, you'll have to describe what parts of this process work, what doesn't, and what parts you are stuck on. As worded, your question is too vague to answer properly, you haven't given enough information. A good start would be the output of lspci, plus a list of which drivers you enabled in the kernel. -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com

Thanks for the quick response, I will check and get back to you. I am not in front of my pc right now.

You should comfirm that the drivers of the adapters are compiled and loaded correctly. And for the wireless network, relys on you AP settings you may need the application like the net_wireless/wpa_supplicant.
Re: [gentoo-user] Net work cards
if I run ifconfig -a this currently what I get. I have completed the installtion, but Kernel Modules I am not sure about. eth0: flags=4163UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST mtu 1500 inet 192.168.1.105 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255 inet6 fe80::be5f:f4ff:fee8:5914 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x20link ether bc:5f:f4:e8:59:14 txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet) RX packets 435 bytes 234999 (229.4 KiB) RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0 TX packets 476 bytes 90064 (87.9 KiB) TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0 lo: flags=73UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING mtu 16436 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 255.0.0.0 inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 scopeid 0x10host loop txqueuelen 0 (Local Loopback) RX packets 4 bytes 300 (300.0 B) RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0 TX packets 4 bytes 300 (300.0 B) TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0 wlan0: flags=4099UP,BROADCAST,MULTICAST mtu 1500 ether 00:0e:2e:e4:fb:cd txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet) RX packets 0 bytes 0 (0.0 B) RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0 TX packets 0 bytes 0 (0.0 B) TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0 On 2/3/14, Amankwah amankw...@gmail.com wrote: On Mon, Feb 03, 2014 at 02:36:29PM +0200, Stephen Reynolds wrote: Hi all I am doing a new Gentoo installation and I cannot get my network cards to work.
