epretorious Posted July 10, 2004 Report Share Posted July 10, 2004 (edited) Hello, All: I'm installing Mandrake 10.0 on an Intel i440GX server board and Mandrake won't configure the on-board ethernet interface (the Intel 82559 Fast Ethernet LAN chipset). The device registers in /proc/pci, (Bus 0, Device 14, IRQ 21) Mandrake Control Center 10...Connection Manager allows me to set 'start at boot' and 'DHCP' (though the settings seem to be go back to their original values after a reboot), and Hardware Manager correctly shows the device and recognizes that it needs the eepro100 kernel module. [*]/sbin/ifconfig shows the MAC address. ...but the interface won't start. Any ideas? Eric P.

epretorious Posted July 11, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2004 FWIW: I'm able to manually configure the interface. :huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

epretorious Posted July 11, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2004 (edited) Hiwhat does ifup eth0 says ? /sbin/ifup: configuration for eth0 not found. FWIW: There isn't a /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 fileThe /etc/sysconfic/network file only contains 'NETWORKING=yes' :unsure: Edited July 11, 2004 by epretorious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epretorious Posted July 11, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2004 FWIW: I've been looking around quite a bit and found a posting about a problem similar to mine (i.e., Mandrake wouldn't configure the wireless interface or the on-board interface). In his reply, Pzatch suggested turning off the on-board interface so I tried something along those lines: I removed the D-Link DWL-520 wireless adapter but it didn't make any difference: MCC still updates /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg- (instead of /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0).

pmpatrick Posted July 12, 2004 Report Share Posted July 12, 2004 Try creating your own ifcfg-eth0 by using this: DEVICE=eth0 BOOTPROTO=dhcp NETMASK=255.255.255.0 ONBOOT=yes Then as root run: # ifup eth0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
