Description Florian Effenberger 2004-02-02 11:00:27 UTC
With the 1.4 LiveCD-2-set, net-setup doesn't work with my ISC DHCPD. Windows and other Linuxes work fine, but net-setup just does not bring up the card. Installing it manually via net-setup works fine, though.

Reproducible: Always

I think I found the problem. With a sis900 onboard card it works just fine, but with my tulip driver (Netgear FA310TX card) in another PC, it doesn't. Maybe the tulip driver has problems?

Having issues also. Tried a Linksys "Instant Etherfast" card with two different motherboards (both have VIA chipsets). LiveCD sees the card and broadcasts for DHCP but pulls nothing.

Seems to be fixed with 2004.0 LiveCD (universal) release.
Confirm anyone?
Comment 4 John Davis (zhen) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-03-20 12:31:04 UTC
probably a kernel bug. since the 2004.0 release cd uses updated kernels, the problem most likely went away as the last comment states. file a bug with the kernel people if the problem persists.

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.
