Hi everyone, |
| 2 |

Well, thanks to the help I got from the list, I finally have Gentoo |
| 4 |
installed on my new desktop and booting to a command prompt. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
However, now I have a networking issue. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
In past, when I booted to the install CD and my ethernet connection was |
| 9 |
not active, I typed net-setup eth0 and was able to set it up. This |
| 10 |
time, when I booted to the install CD and typed net-setup eth0, the |
| 11 |
network card was not recognized. I googled and found a post where |
| 12 |
someone said that they had to 'modprobe -r broadcom' and 'modprobe -r |
| 13 |
tg3' and then 'modprobe broadcom' and 'modprobe tg3' and then, run |
| 14 |
net-setup. I did this and then ifconfig returned my eth0 connection. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Of course, later you have to do the cp -L /etc/resolv.conf |
| 17 |
/mnt/gentoo/etc/ .... which I did and dhcpcd has been added to my |
| 18 |
default runlevel. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
However, when I boot, eth0 does not start. I can start it manually by |
| 21 |
doing 'modprobe -r broadcom' and 'modprobe -r tg3' and then 'modprobe |
| 22 |
broadcom' and 'modprobe tg3' |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
However, I would like to have my network started automatically. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
I do have config_eth0="dhcp" in my /etc/conf.d/net file |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Any suggestions? |
