Still problems with getting the cable modem to work. Could be right on the resource conflict. I have tried to configure it as DHCP with
the host information in there (that @home quirk). No luck. Here's some additional information:
ifconfig -a gives:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:50:BA:CB:6F:43
BROADCAST NOTRAILERS RUNNING MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0
overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 Base address:0x1080
lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:3924 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0
dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
Just plain ifconfig only shows me the lo information
From dmesg I get: (for the ethernet card)
localhost kernel: The PCI BIOS has not enabled the device at 0/120! Updating PCI command 0013->0017. Sep 27 21:02:27 localhost kernel:
eth0: VIA VT3043 Rhine at 0x1080, 00:50:ba:cb:6f:43, IRQ 0
If I run tail /var/log/messages after I run /etc/rc.d/init.d/network restart I see (among other things):
localhost dhcpcd[12368]: dhcpStart: ioctl SIOCSIFFLAGS: Resource temporarily unavailable
Sep 27 21:36:12 localhost ifup: failed.
Sep 27 21:36:12 localhost network: Bringing up interface eth0 failed
Sep 27 21:38:48 localhost ifup: SIOCSIFFLAGS: Resource temporarily unavailable
Sep 27 21:38:48 localhost ifup: SIOCADDRT: Network is down
Sep 27 21:38:48 localhost ifup: SIOCADDRT: Network is unreachable
Tried to hard code the IP in there (manual configuration), in which ifconfig gives the information as the IP for eth0 plus netmask, etc,
but I still see the same messages about SIOCADDRT etc.
If you had the strenght to wade through all this information, do you have any suggestions? I've tried to code a different IRQ in there
and had no luck. But that is through regular linuxconf. Are there some configuration files that I should be paying attention to? I've
looked for the information on SIOCADDRT and SIOCSIFFLAGS, couldn't get anywhere. Any suggestions or assistance will grant you great Karma
in the afterlife.
Ah yes, your last question. netstat -rn gives:
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface
127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo
No eth0
-Still off-line in Chandler.
