[gentoo-user] Net work cards

Hi all



I am doing a new Gentoo installation and I cannot get my network cards to
work. I have two cards



1) eth0 =  Realtek RLTl8111e

2) wlan0 = RaLink RT2561/RT61



Gen Kernel has support for both.



Please advise me as to what steps I can take to fix this?

Are the kernel modules for your network desvices loaded? What's the
output of "ifconfig -a"?

If you are doing an install, you are probably following the handbook.
The relevant chapter is:

http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-amd64.xml?part=1&chap=7

For the folks here to be of much use to you, you'll have to describe
what parts of this process work, what doesn't, and what parts you are
stuck on.

As worded, your question is too vague to answer properly, you haven't
given enough information.

A good start would be the output of lspci, plus a list of which drivers
you enabled in the kernel.

You should comfirm that the drivers of the adapters are compiled and
loaded correctly. And for the wireless network, relys on you AP settings
you may need the application like the net_wireless/wpa_supplicant.

You can get the info on what modules are loaded for the cards with `lspci -k`. For instance, the lines for my network card are:01:01.0 Network controller: Ralink corp. RT2760 Wireless 802.11n 1T/2R Subsystem: Edimax Computer Co. Device 7727 Kernel driver in use: rt2800pci It may also be relevant to post the output of `dmesg | grep -i firmware`.

Here's what I've got:
lspci -k
Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168/8411
PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 01)
    Subsystem: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd Motherboard
    Kernel driver in use: r8169
    Kernel modules: r8169

Hope this helps.

According to your result of the ifconfig -a, your device dirver should
be OK.

First, the eth0 interface, that is your wired connection, has already
been configured. If it's done automaticly, it should be worked. If it
doesn't work, you should check your network setting and if the cable is
connected in right way.

Second, the wlan0, the wirelesss adpater, maybe you need a wireless
network management application. you can just check the basic
configurations by the command iwconfig and iwlist first, if it's OK,
and your wireless has encryption, you should configrue the
wpa_supplicant correctly or using the NetworkManager to manage your
wirless connection.
