Hi,
strange happening: after my last Gentoo update the network setting was lost, and when I tried to start it manually, this was written:
bash-2.05b# /etc/init.d/net.eth0 start * Bringing eth0 up... SIOCSIFADDR: No such device etho: unknown interface: No such device SIOCSIFBRDADDR: No such device etho: unknown interface: No such device SIOCSIFNETMASK: No such device * Failed to bring eth0 up
Problem was that there was no eth0 entry in /etc/modules.conf
Solution was to
1. Create this file:
/etc/modules.d/modules.net
2. Make it have this content:
alias eth0 8139too
3. Call this helper script to get the new alias into modules.conf:
modules-update
OK, then "/etc/init.d/net.eth0 start" worked fine, but the question remains: How could that happen?
What might I have done wrong during the update process that could have lead to me loosing the eth0 alias in the /etc/modules.conf file?
TIA, Karl-Heinz
