Subject: [gentoo-user] Kernel 2.6.30 gets no network
Date: Sun, 13 Sep 2009 10:42:05

1 I'm just trying kernel 2.6.30-gentoo-r6 and having the same trouble I had
2 with 2.56.30-r4, so now I need to ask if I'm alone in this.
3
4 I copied my .config from my 2.6.28-gentoo-r5, did "make oldconfig" and took
5 the default action on everything (none of which seemed related to this
6 problem). It boots okay and recognizes everything except my network
7 interfaces (on the motherboard, but they're Intel chipset thingies:)

9 Here's what "lspci" says about them on the good kernel:
10
11 07:02.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82557/8/9/0/1 Ethernet Pro
12 100 (rev 0d)
13 07:03.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82557/8/9/0/1 Ethernet Pro
14 100 (rev 0d)
15
16 The 2.6.30-gentoo-r6 kernel does not bring them up, and a manual attempt to
17 do so in /etc/init.d errors out with a claim the interfaces do not exist.
18
19 Anybody else seen this or can give guidance?
