Thinkpad X20, eth0 up failed after recompile kernel 2.4.30
My X20 runs a quite old kernel 2.2.20(network is okay), so I download a new
kernel 2.4.30, loaded old config file and the ONLY change is
"add apm support" and compiled it with old Ethernet options like following:
[*] Ethernet (10 or 100Mbit)
< > Sun Happy Meal 10/100baseT support
< > Sun GEM & Apple GMAC support
[*] 3COM cards
<*> 3c590/3c900 series (592/595/597) "Vortex/Boomerang" support
< > 3cr990 series "Typhoon" Support
[*] Western Digital/SMC cards
[*] Racal-Interlan (Micom) NI cards
<M> HP 10/100VG PCLAN (ISA, EISA, PCI) support
[] EISA, VLB, PCI and on board controllers
[] Pocket and portable adapters
system loaded new kernel well except network can not bring up.
use "ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.19" give information:
SIOCSIFADDR: no such device
eth0: ERROR while getting interface flags: no such device
with lspci it outputs:
...
00.0a.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corp. 82557 [Ethernet Pro 100] (rev 09)
...
and content my /etc/network/interfaces is:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.178.1.19
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.1.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255
gateway 192.168.1.254
everything seems fine. Any suggestions! Thanks in Advance!
