OK, never mind. Looks like I'm not as dumb as I thought I was. Or maybe I'm more dumb. In section 7.12.1 Creating stable names for network interfaces, I went ahead and created the /etc/udev/rules.d/26-network.rules file even though it is optional for me. When I removed this file and rebooted my dhcp is now working. However I'm still getting an error when I boot:
RTNETLINK answers: File exists Gateway already setup; skipping. That doesn't sound too bad since I can ping www.google.com but is there a way to get rid of the error? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of David Barron Sent: Monday, July 03, 2006 8:26 AM To: BLFS Support List Subject: RE: Dhcpcd not working Well, I'm not sure what you needed to see on the CONFIG_NET, but here's what the config file contains: CONFIG_NET=y CONFIG_NETFILTER=y CONFIG_NETDEVICES=y CONFIG_NET_ETHERNET=y CONFIG_NET_PCI=y And here's what the call to ip link show shows: 1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP> mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00 2: e1000: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop qlen 1000 link/ether 00:06:5b:cd:28:1f brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff If I'm reading this right it looks like the hardware is there and the module is loaded correctly, right?

When I use the lsmod command it does > show e1000 as loaded, but under Used by it just shows a 0. Well, it's seems OK that it shows 0. My ethernet driver is sundance, and it shows Used by 0. Besides, the module wouldn't have been loaded if the device wasn't in use. Did you add networking support to your kernel? CONFIG_NET=y/m and friends? What's the output from "/sbin/ip link show"? -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
