Problems setting up an lan adapter

Abijr

Hi,
I have been using linux for a while and I decided to try slackware,
but, I can't setup the network adapter, I'm using slackware 12 and
have a 945g motherboard with integrated lan adapter on a gateway
GT3020m box.

If it is of any help, I got it up and running on the fedora8 distro.

I am really stuck any help appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

What tells

lspci | grep Ethernet

about the network adapter?

"Ubuntu" - an African word, meaning "Slackware is too hard for me".

You may even need the 'verbose' list as it's susceptible to
hide some device info:

# lspci -v | awk '/Ethernet/' RS=

and even further:

# lspci -vv | awk '/Ethernet/' RS=

# lspci -v | awk '/Ethernet/' RS=

Any ideas??

Doesn't look good.

What tells


lspci -n | grep 0200:

It should tell a line beginning with


03:08.0 0200:

And the following pair of four-digit-numbers tells the values for a
search in "pci.ids".

Searching for "82201" in the linux sources for kernel 2.6.22.14
(drivers/net) didn't help.

How to fix it


# lspci -n | grep 0200

I have a similar (though apparently not identical) adapter in a (HP
Pavilion a6057c) system here:

$ lspci -v -s 01:08.0
01:08.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family)
LAN Controller (rev 01)
Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Unknown device 2a50
Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 17
Memory at fdefe000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4K]
I/O ports at ee00 [size=64]
Capabilities: <access denied>

$ cat /etc/slackware-version
Slackware 12.0.0

$ uname -a
Linux hostname 2.6.23.12 #1 SMP Thu Jan 3 22:20:07 EST 2008 i686
Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 4300 @ 1.80GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

I found the following (in drivers/net/Kconfig) useful. This is the
driver I'm using on the system here with no trouble:

config E100
tristate "Intel(R) PRO/100+ support"
depends on NET_PCI && PCI
select MII
---help---
This driver supports Intel(R) PRO/100 family of adapters.
...

I hope it helps

what gives:

# lsmod|grep 100

and the tests:

# ifconfig -a -v

# mii-tool -v

# ethtool eth0

you may try these checkings before and after trying to
load different modules that "could" suit your eth:

# cat<<EOF|while read ee; do modprobe -v $ee; done
hp100
e2100
eepro100
e100
e1000
EOF
