Corega gigabit Eth not recognisedForum: Networking Topic: Corega gigabit Eth not recognised started by: coze Posted by coze on April 22 2006,14:36
I've booted dsl.2.3 on my desktop computer, but unfortunately it was not able to detect my < Corega LAPCIGT > ethernet card. I did some research and probably it uses realtek's r8169 module. How can I load this module after DSL starts ? and how can I make it permanent ?thanks < http://corega.jp/service/photo/data/zip/lapcigt.zip > Posted by tom17 on Aug. 31 2006,08:36
I also have a similar problem. I have an Asus P5B mobo which has onboard realtek 8169 (maybe 8168 as its PCIe) gigabit lan.Is there any way I can get the drivers for this onto the USB drive I made? Is there a repository of premade DSL drivers or do I need to go rebuilding the kernel myself? Not done that for knoppix before... Cheers, Tom... Posted by bostonvaulter on Sep. 01 2006,02:35
I also have a similar issue. This is my output from lspci in a different os (SLAX)02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4401-B0 100Base-TX (rev 02) Does anyone know what the issue could be? I know it's not being recognized in DSL. How could i fix it? It seems like I might need to do something with the kernel if I understand the posts above me. If we were using the 2.6 kernel would this be most likely fixed? as a side note, i think it might recognize the drivers for my wireless card...kinda funny to have a wireless card that works and a wired one that doesn't...:p Posted by ^thehatsrule^ on Sep. 01 2006,14:51
You could test load it by using insmod r8169Then configure your network using netcardconfig If it isn't in DSL, you'll probably have to compile the driver first... (see gcc*.dsl) Permanence can be done several ways, see backup/restore, mkdmydsl, remastering, etc. |
