I'm just trying kernel 2.6.30-gentoo-r6 and having the same trouble
I had with 2.56.30-r4, so now I need to ask if I'm alone in this.
I copied my .config from my 2.6.28-gentoo-r5, did "make oldconfig"
and took the default action on everything (none of which seemed
related to this problem). It boots okay and recognizes everything
except my network interfaces (on the motherboard, but they're Intel
chipset thingies:)
Here's what "lspci" says about them on the good kernel:
07:02.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82557/8/9/0/1
Ethernet Pro 100 (rev 0d)
07:03.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82557/8/9/0/1
Ethernet Pro 100 (rev 0d)
The 2.6.30-gentoo-r6 kernel does not bring them up, and a manual
attempt to do so in /etc/init.d errors out with a claim the
interfaces do not exist.
Anybody else seen this or can give guidance?
Umm. I just looked at the .config files, and it appears the interfaces
are supported by the config option CONFIG_EEPRO100=y
which is not even present in the 2.6.30 file. Eeeek! Is my system now
unsupportable?
It's CONFIG_E100:
Symbol: E100
Prompt: Intel(R) PRO/100+ support
Defined at drivers/net/Kconfig:1462
Depends on: NETDEVICES && NET_ETHERNET && NET_PCI && PCI
Location:
-> Device Drivers
-> Network device support (NETDEVICES)
-> Ethernet (10 or 100Mbit) (NET_ETHERNET)
