Bug 10879 – problems with CNET PRO200 PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter, the dmfe module isn't on the cd

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Release Media

[Description Jørgen Øksenholt 2002-11-17 14:30:37 UTC]

Gentoo finds the card, but when i try to get an ip from my dhcp, it doesnt 
work. i also tried to write an ip manually, but it didnt work either. 

The NIC is a CNET PRO200 PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter.

Works fine here.  What kernel ?

[Comment 2 Jørgen Øksenholt 2002-11-18 12:57:08 UTC]

it is on the installation cd.. modprobe dmfe doesnt work..

[Comment 3 Martin Schlemmer (RETIRED) 2002-11-18 14:00:15 UTC]

What version of the install cd ?

[Comment 4 Jørgen Øksenholt 2002-11-18 15:24:28 UTC]

it is the 1.4_rc1-r2. 

[Comment 5 Daniel Robbins (RETIRED) 2002-12-22 01:10:25 UTC]

1.4_rc1-r2 has ethernet support built in to the kernel, not as modules. Try 
http:/www.gentoo.org/dyn/experimental/livecd/ (the "20021221" or later version) 
and see how it works for you. Post results (good/bad) here.

[Comment 6 Daniel Robbins (RETIRED) 2003-09-09 15:37:00 UTC]

there weren't ethernet modules on this livecd; closing.

[Comment 7 John Davis (zhen) (RETIRED) 2004-01-20 21:39:43 UTC]

housework, daniel said to close it in the last comment.

[Comment 8 Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) 2005-03-25 11:24:32 UTC]

Moving these so we can remove the "Install CD" component from "Gentoo Linux".

I apologize to everyone for this spam, but according to the bugzilla developers,
this is the only reasonable way to do this.
