Guest cokelid Posted June 28, 2005 Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 This is a problem similar to many others, but mine was a problem with modules. I'm posting this in the hope other users might find it useful. Everything worked fine with 10.0, 10.1 (upgrade). Using a Linksys Router with a cable modem. After upgrading to LE 2005 (10.2) from 10.1, the network would not start at boot. Had to configure a new (cable) network connection (in Mandrake Control Center = "drakconf"), and half way through the connection-wizard the network would spring to life. HardDrake would then show that the ethernet card (a VIA Rhine VT6102) requires the module "via-rhine". After rebooting (with the network not working) running "lsmod" as root shows that the via-rhine module was not loaded. To load at boot time added the line: alias eth0 via-rhine to the top of /etc/modprobe.conf and that did the trick. Don't know why this stopped working after upgrading to 10.2. Maybe interesting for the developers? Good Luck, Justin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
