[gentoo-user] I copied a Gentoo VM and now networking doesn't work.
I have a Gentoo VM that I've used for years (XP Host. Workstation 5.5.3). Works great. I copied the .vmdk and .vmx files to a new directory called LAMP. I edited the .vmx file changing the appropriate paths. Now when I start the new VM, my networking fails. (I changed nothing inside the linux VM). ifconfig eth0 says: eth0: error fetching interface information: Device not found dmesg | grep says: pcnet32.c:v1.33.27 blah blah blah pcnet32.c PCnet/PCI II . and my MAC address 00:0c:29:e8:fd:74 eth0: registered as PCnet/PCI II 79C970A pcnet32: 1 cards_found. lspci | grep net says: 00:11.0 Ethernet controller: [AMD] blah blah pcnet-diag says it finds the card etc. too. my kernel (2.6.19) is set to CONFIG_PCNET32=y, so I don't load it as a module. It seems that the driver is being loaded right? What could be the problem? If I load the original Gentoo VM, it works fine. Both are set to NAT. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

It's very likely that the MAC address of the virtual device changed, and the new device is eth1 (or higher). This isn't really Gentoo specific. It's bit me on at least 2 other distros as well. (Mainly due to the network cards in one of my systems being broken so that the MAC is randomized by the kernel on each boot.) This new behavior is odd to me, but in the long run I think it'll improve usability of Linux in general. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =.
