[gentoo-user] ethernet not working on new laptop (dell e6510)
I just purchased a dell latitude E6510, with a gigabit (hardwired) ethernet. It works fine under windows. I now have the (newest) gentoo installation disk (april) in the machine. The device is recognized and the e1000e module is loaded. ifconfig shows the mac address, but no IP addr. My router (linksys with the tomato firmware) shows that same mac address (presumably gotten when the windows machine was connected). If I run net-setup eth0, nothing changes. If I execute the manual ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.80 broadcast 192.168.1.255 netmask 255.255.255.0 up subsequent ifconfig's show this data but ping 192.168.1.1 (the IP addr of the router) fails However, 192.168.1.80 succeeds. Any help would be appreciated. thanks, allan

This dhcp bug is a bug I have reported, bug # 284631 -- please add your comments to this bug -- including dhcp version, router brand, etc. Done. (I can't find the dhcp version and can't boot it now since I have grml booted). For grml I needed to turn off framebuffer and some acpi stuff. But it has booted and I am starting to prepare the hard disk. Thanks for sending me to grml. allan

Run 'lspci'. Thanks. I just now did and it confirms the intel gigabit controller and (when run with -v) that the e1000e driver is being used. But I don't see what to do next. allan
