Network Setup

Hi,
I am new to ZenWalk and new to linux. I just installed 7.0 and it works great, except now I'm trying to connect to the network and I'm kind of clueless where to start. I have an old Compaq Presario 1500. I am not sure what NIC I have. Can someone get me pointed in the right direction, please?

Thank you!

Can you post the results for lspci -v from a console ?

Are you sure there is a network card inside ?
Are you sure lspci is complete ?
Can you post "cat /proc/ioports" ?

Bip

bipbip · **Posted:** Thu Jan 05, 2012 10:02 pm

Post also the result for lsmod ?

You can also change the line in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf :

Code:

blacklist eepro100

by

Code:

#blacklist eepro100

Can you edit the file /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf and comment this line blacklist eepro100 ?

Code:

#blacklist eepro100

Restart the pc.

Bip

Done. Thank you.

# Alternate Intel EtherExpress Pro/100 support driver.
List it
# here so it won't conflict with an already-loaded e100 module.
#blacklist eepro100 - Commented out 1/13/12 per zenwalk support

Still unable to connect.

Thanks for your help - Jim

bipbip · **Posted:** Sun Jan 15, 2012 8:25 am

Can you look if the module eepro100 is loaded ?
Give me the results for lsmod and lspci ?

Here is the output - thank you.

I do not see eepro100 listed anywhere in the output, so I have to assume that it is not loaded. Thanks again for the help. Jim

does not sound problematic

The kernel seems to load the correct modules
you can check whit control panel/kernel modules/net
can you check in wicd (Network manager)/preferences/ always show wired interface and try to connect.
Does your provider need a password?

n88yanks · **Joined:** Wed Nov 23, 2011 8:00 pm **Posts:** 13

Thanks - I made the change to Widc and tried to connect, but still cannot. I don't know if this helps, but when I try to ping the network I receive "Network is unreachable".

What kernel should I load/look for in control panel/kernel modules/net?

Sorry - I really am a linunx newbie!

Jim

And no - my provider does not need a pswd. Thx!

I seem to have about the same card, worked out of the box.
lspci:

Code:

Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+ (rev 10)
   Subsystem: Toshiba America Info Systems Device ff31
   Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 16
   I/O ports at 2000 [size=256]
   Memory at d0001000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=256]
   Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2
   Kernel driver in use: 8139too
   Kernel modules: 8139too, 8139cp

According to lsmod we have the same modules loaded:
mii 2332 1 8139too

so you'd think it must be something different.
At wicd.sourceforge.net I found this:

Quote:

I keep on getting "Network unreachable" or "No default route set errors" when I attempt to connect. What's the problem here?
Try switching dhcp clients. This problem was most often reported with dhclient, and using dhcpcd usually will resolve the problem.

Sorry - I've poked around a bit in the Network Manager and can't see a place to change dhcp clients (I am very unfamiliar with linux), but one thing I did notice is that under the preferences no ethernet card is listed. Does that help? Is that normal?

Thx!
Jim
