New to gentoo!
Welcome to a new world of learning!
I have gentoo amd64 loaded and the forcedepth drive is
detecting the first network card. Both the default skge and the sk98lin
manually downloaded from SysKonnect will load without errors and display
in the lsmod. Neither will actually detect the network card.
I don't get it. If it's modprobed and lsmod shows it, means the cards
are detected. your lcpci shows the cards are detected.
I have
included the lspci -vv at the end of this message.
1. are both of these interfaces active, meaning can I use both.
Yes. Doesn't ifconfig show anything? ifconfig eth1 or ifconfig eth0??
2. Being new to gentoo, should the interface be added automatically
upon modprobe or is there something more I need to do.
U modprobe the drivers, they get seen by the kernel. Then you need to up
the interface. DHCP?
make sure you edit /etc/conf.d/net (there are example files in there as
well)
/etc/init.d/net.eth? up
Oh.. yeah.. since you have 2 eth, make the apropriate symlink for eth1
eg: ln -s eth0 eth1
I think this may be a PCIE issue, from what I have read. But, I have
recomplied the kernel (network devices) and configured both the
forcedepth and skge drivers as modules. If I unload the forcedepth or
rename so it won't start durning boot, the SKGE driver WILL load and be
listed in the lsmod and lspci but does nothing - no dmesg anything! Its
almost like the driver sees the device but is waiting on something else
to load..... There's very little information concerning this device -
I'll keep digging.
