[gentoo-user] Intel Gigabit Ethernet problem

[Daniel da Veiga]

Hi list,

I've been struggling with this for a while, I am setting up this new
machine, but got stuck because I can't find a way to make the network
card work... According to lspci:

02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82573E Gigabit Ethernet
Controller (Copper) (rev 03)

The weird thing is, it works just fine when booting the LiveCD, dmesg shows:

Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Driver - version 7.2.9-k4
Copyright (c) 1999-2006 Intel Corporation.
ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:02:00.0[A] -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 17
PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:02:00.0 to 64
e1000: 0000:02:00.0: e1000_probe: (PCI Express:2.5Gb/s:32-bit) 00:10:c6:a1:5a:41
e1000: eth0: e1000_probe: Intel PRO/1000 Network Connection
e1000: eth0: e1000_watchdog: NIC Link is Up 100 Mbps Full Duplex
e1000: eth0: e1000_watchdog: 10/1000 speed: disabling TSO

but when booting the local kernel:

Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Driver - version 7.2.9-k4
Copyright (c) 1999-2006 Intel Corporation.
ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:02:00.0[A] -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 17
PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:02:00.0 to 64
e1000: eth0: e1000_probe: Intel PRO/1000 Network Connection

and the interface is not created, neither the "watchdog" part of dmesg
that shows in the LiveCD appears, and thus, no network connection.

I've tried different kernels, with the same result (the LiveCD has the
2.6.19-gentoo-r5, and I've tried this and 2.6.21-gentoo-r4. Tried
compiled in the kernel, as module, "modprobe -r", nothing works...

Any help would be much appreciated!

It appears as if driver works and has created the device but...

Have you configured the device in /etc/conf.d/net?  Have you added
net.eth0 to the default runlevel?

The device was not created (and yeah, that's weird since there's a
mention to "eth0" in dmesg), also the init script is there and there
is a config for the interface at rc.conf/net. It seems the probe is
not working, as it never detects the link is up or down...

What does ifconfig -a return? A lot of times udev will "remap" the 
device name. Especially if there is IP over firewall.

Opps firewire not firewall. Long weekend.

Happens to me all the time...

ifconfig -a shows only "lo".

I tried some crazy stunts (like copying the module from the livecd)
and now I got the interface listed, but it doesn't work and yells a
lot of "SIOCSIFFLAGS: Function not implemented" messages, along with
"Unable to allocate interrupt Error: -38" in dmesg.

I'm in the process of recompiling the kernel right now, and I hope
that will solve it (so far I only compiled the kernel while in the
LiveCD chroot, but now I have all packages and thus I'm trying to
compile it at the real system). That should make no difference, but
I'm trying everything...

Ok, after a few reboots (more like a lot), I wiped out all traces of
the kernel and configs, along with all modules, and started from
scratch my new kernel build, and guess... It's working...

Thank you for the replies.
