pagal Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 couple of questions... what stage did you start from? did you compile the kernel by yourself or used the genkernel script? make/model of your NIC? type of internet service + your setup (one computer connected straight to the modem? more than one with a router? etc etc?

^dev^ Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 perhaps you can try this and see what you get #dhcpcd eth0 or put in the live cd and lsmod to find your nic module Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neowin_hipster Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 modprobe 8139too just a guess.... otherwise you can cat /proc/pci | grep net --well that should work, i might have forgotten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
