I am not familiar with your setup so this is just some generic troubleshooting |
| 4 |
to see what gives. |

This is telling us that your default card is not getting an IP address back |
| 10 |
from the router. I am assuming that this is because you do not have a cat5 |
| 11 |
cable connecting you to the router and you rely on the wireless adapter, |
| 12 |
which in turn has not been configured? |

Do you know which device this MAC address belongs to? lshw should show you. |
| 18 |
|

It seems that only one device is configured (eth0). Knowing which device |
| 20 |
(wired or wireless) is mapped to eth0 would help the whole process. |

OK you have two adaptors: |

I don't know which one is a wireless and which one is a wired NIC (from a |
| 29 |
quick google they both look like wired PCI cards to me). |

Modules have been installed. |

This does not have a configured interface. |

This one does and it is eth1. |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
When you run /sbin/dhcpcd eth1 what do you get? |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
You may also want to try iwconfig eth0, or iwconfig eth1 in case either are |
| 53 |
wireless adaptors. If none of your PCI cards are wireless you may want to |
| 54 |
modprobe -r 8139too since it is not being recognised anyway, re- modprobe -v |
| 55 |
sis900 and check what is shown under ifconfig as a recognised NIC device. |
| 56 |
|
| 57 |
Hope this helps. |
