Re: [gentoo-user] NIC not detected after Kernel upgrade

[Guillermo Garron]

Hi, I am top posting because it is solved.

I want to help you all for your help, I am not sure about the problem
but here are some hints, you will realize what it was.

As I said before, I used this info for the new configuration.

00:19.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82566DC Gigabit Network
Connection (rev 02)
       Subsystem: Intel Corporation Device 0001
       Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 216
       Memory at 92200000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=128K]
       Memory at 92224000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4K]
       I/O ports at 20e0 [size=32]
       Capabilities: <access denied>
       Kernel driver in use: e1000e
       Kernel modules: e1000e

That info comes from

lspci -v

run on the Crunchbang Linux live CD.

But I have also realized that I always was saving my configurations as.
guille1.config, guille2.config, and so on. but this time I also did this.

cp guille5.config .config

and then compiled the kernel, I am almost sure that matters.

thanks again for your help and time.

regards,

Guillermo Garron
