Problems installing e1000 NIC on FC7
Hi,
I am just installing Fedora FC7-64bit on a intel DP35dp board which has an intel 82566DC-2 nic. I found this out using lspci.
Well that' s about it. And that the internet is not working. modprobe shows that e1000 is loaded and aliased to eth0.
And I don't know what to test next...
I would appreaciate any help and suggestions.
Thanks
Bernd

I added alias eth0 e1000 to /etc/modprobe.conf
when restarting network with /etc/network restart I get:
SIOCGIFFLAGS: No such device

lsmod is showing no one is using it...:
e1000 size: 131457 used by 0
e1000 size: 131457 used by 0
Will you try to add:
alias eth0 e1000
options e1000 Speed=10,100 Duplex=2,1
and retry? Otherwise I'll be thinking that this is an iterrupt issue. you might go to your bios and reset Intererupts.

>modprobe -l e1000
/lib/modules/2.6.21-1.3194
>ifconfig
settings for eth0:
connot get device settings
cannot get wake-on-lan settings
cannot messge level
cannot get link status
ifconfig:
> lo Linc encoap: local Loopback
....
nothing eth0
/etc/modprobe
has aliases on scsi and snd devices
options on snd-card/snd-hda
dont think those are relevant, if so I can type it ...
thanks
