hi,
where can i find the driver for a rtl8139 (chip) realtek networkcard
under etch?
[i used to load them under woody from the modconf list, but cannot
find the driver there]
8139too
thanks, greg, i know that: i didnot ask my question clear enough.
where in etch can i find the driver for that chip? i could not find it
in modconf.
Hi steef,
I use that in my etch box. For me, etch handled it all automatically.
/lib/modules/2.6.18-4-686/kernel/drivers/net/8139too.ko
It's in the linux-image-2.6.18-4-686 package.
hello ralph and magnus, thanks for your answer.
in my box etch loads the driver automatically too. but i cannot reach
the internet
in fact i have two internetcards/chips on my machine. normally i use the
onboard nvidia-chip which works fine. for some good reason i need to
switch from the nvidia-chip to the RTL-8139 card. dmesg, lsmod and grep
show me combined that etch recognizes the RTL-card.
Yet i cannot reach the internet. /etc/network/interfaces tells me ethx
(of the RTL card) is unconfigured.
so now my question: how can i tell etch to set on the RTL card/ connect
me to the internet with the RTL-card, instead of the nvidia-chip?
(tried out among other things ifup ifdown et.)
AH-HAH! Now we get to your real issue.
you will need to edit:
/etc/udev/rules.d/z25_persistent-net.rules
Here is what mine looks like:
princess:/etc/udev/rules.d# cat z25_persistent-net.rules
# This file was automatically generated by the /lib/udev/write_net_rules
# program, probably run by the persistent-net-generator.rules rules file.
#
# You can modify it, as long as you keep each rule on a single line.
# PCI device 0x10b7:0x9200 (3c59x)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTRS{address}=="00:04:XX:XX:XX:XX", NAME="eth0"
# PCI device 0x8086:0x1229 (e100)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTRS{address}=="00:d0:XX:XX:XX:XX", NAME="eth1"
You probably have two entries. Edit to flop around the one you want to
be eth0. Currently I am using the 3c59x card to do this. I put the other
one in there to use from time to time.
Once you get that taken care of... you should be all good.
