I just purchased a dell latitude E6510, with a gigabit |
| 2 |
(hardwired) ethernet. It works fine under windows. |
| 3 |
|
| 4 |
I now have the (newest) gentoo installation disk (april) in the machine. |
| 5 |
The device is recognized and the e1000e module is loaded. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
ifconfig shows the mac address, but no IP addr. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
My router (linksys with the tomato firmware) shows that same mac address |
| 10 |
(presumably gotten when the windows machine was connected). |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
If I run net-setup eth0, nothing changes. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
If I execute the manual |
| 15 |
ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.80 broadcast 192.168.1.255 netmask 255.255.255.0 up |
| 16 |
subsequent ifconfig's show this data but |
| 17 |
ping 192.168.1.1 (the IP addr of the router) fails |
| 18 |
However, 192.168.1.80 succeeds. |
| 19 |

Any help would be appreciated. |

thanks, |
