I traced down the problem to the following: when I reproduced the problem: 1) modprobe i82365 && modprobe ds 2) cardmgr the system would hang. I changed the file /etc/pcmcia/network by changing the line after #!/bin/sh to exit 0; When I ran step1 and step2, execution of cardmgr did not fail. However when running plain 'ifconfig' the system hang. So What I did to solve the problem was: 1) modprobe 82365 2) modprobe ds 3) change /etc/pcmcia/network as described above 4) run cardmgr 5) do not run ifconfig without args of with eth0 as arg! 6) perform the following two steps (if you're using a static IP): /sbin/ifconfig eth0 <your_ip> broadcast <your_broadcast> netmask <255.0.0.0> /sbin/route add -net default gw <yourgateway> netmask <your_netmask> metric 1 If you are using a dynamic IP, run: dhcpcd eth0 7) and continue the installation by setting up /etc/resolv.conf happy gentoo :-) Note to system maintainers: Are those files (/etc/pcmcia/network and network.opts) realy necessary? Won't it be better to replace them with files containing just the following: #!/bin/sh exit 0; Regards Pieter Van den Abeele |
