It still doesn't work.
I made changes in /etc/modprobe.config and reboot system, the now if I look /etc/modprobe.config, there:
alias eth0 forcedeth
alias eth1 eth1394
But when I'm looking Control Center - no changes there - in New Connection -> LAN Connection
eth0: IEEE 1394 IPv4 Driver (....)
eth1: nVidia Corporation|MCP51 ....
How it is possible ?....
Well, maybe there is another way to decide problem - nVidia supplies drivers for Linux, the only problem, that I've met before is that installing-program looks for kernel-sources in /usr/src...
Maybe I should find a kernel with exactly matching kernel-sources, compile them & try to install those files from nVidia ?

Hi again !
So, one by one:
in etc/.../ifcfg_eth1:
DEVICE=eth1
BOOTPROTO=none
IPADDR="No IP"
NETMASK="No Mask"
BROADCAST=255
MII_NO_SUPPORTED=yes
PEERDNS=yes
NETMASK="No Mask"
IPADDR="No IP"
I've put "ONBOOT=no" to ifcfg-eth0 - it seems that nothing changed after rebooting - when I look Control Center, I'm again suggested, that ethernet-connection will be through eth0;
Yes, I hav DHCP-server number, IP-address (as far I'd read them from Windows)
For eth1 is "forcedeth"-module, but I didn't understand - what to do with this ?
In etc/modprobe.conf I can see:
alias eth1 forcedeth
alias eth0 eth1394
Say, how to change quickly system-files, like "ifcfg-eth0" - through "vi-redactor" ?
-
No, ian, I didn't any yet - I read Your message after posting my one;
I'll try to do what You say after a while and inform You.

ian, when I've reload system the a result from "ifconfig -a" was as in my last post, but now I'got another one :

so, one device is added, but it gives little help

Aha - here it is:
# ifconfig -a

When I'm runing
Mandriva Linux Control Center -> Network & Internet -> Set up a new network interface(LAN, ISON, ADSL...) -> LAN connection
it shows Net Devices:
eth0: IEEE 1394 IPv4 Driver (IPv4-over-1394 as per RFC 2734)
eth1: nVidia Corporation|MCP51 Ethernet Controller
& by default Mandriva trying establish connection throug eth0...
& trying to change configuration of IEEE 1394 was realy bad idea... - it causes kernel panic...
-
You have to be root, so:
su (enter root password when prompted) ifconfig -a
Yes, I've forgot about this - wait for a while, I'm experimenting with poor mashine, so need some time to reboot it & get answer from non-changed version (2.6.16.2) 10 minutes or so
huhu... need to reinstall system - experiment wasn't succesfull...
-
What is the output of:
ifconfig -a
bash: ifconfig: command not found
-
Nice one, glad it worked for you. This actually works much better under Mandriva 2007, than it did in 2006.
I'm running 2.6.19.1 under Mandriva 2007, compiled by myself.
Ok, but one problem still left (not so big I suppose...)
Now I have 2 Network Interfaces - eth0 ( IEEE 1394 ... ) - it was set before kernel-updating, ... adn it is the only one which is available under kernel 2.6.12-12mdk
and eth1 ( NVIDIA MCP51 Ethernet Controller) (which appear under new version (2.6.15.6) - same one (I think this is right one, because I have nVidia- network cart)
It seems, that Mandriva now can see any of devices on my PC, (to judge by # lspci output)...
but there is no connection to ethernet still.
May be I have to put MCP51 on "eth0" ? how it could be done ? or maybe this option could be set in kernel configuration (say make changes under # make menuconfig) ? Or best solution is to upgrade kernel to higher version ?
It would be nice, if You can advice something.
-
It's a bit late... but nevertheless...
Thank You ian, I've spent almost a week trying to make deal with my Mandriva (it didn't see my Ethernet card); followint Your instructions I've managed to upgrade my kernel ... well, it's first step, but I'm lucky now. Thanks again.
:P

Hi, ian !
it works - I hardly can believe it, but indeed...
- I've install linux-2.6.18;
- then go KDE -> Control Center -> Network & Internet -> Set up a new network interface -> LAN connection - You can see what is output on
http://www.mandrake.tips.4.free.fr/installmdv2006.html
(in the chapter "Summary -- Network"...)
- then "Net device" (my case - eth1: nVidia Corporation|MCP51...) -> Manual Configuration -> enter IPadreess & Netmask -> enter DNS server 1, Gateway (same as DNS) and !! - on 2.6.18 there is an option "Gateway device" (wich wasn't on previous versions) !! - so choose here "eth1..." and that's it !
- reboot
it works.... at last ...
