6.10 amd64 doesn't see my LAN

Re: 6.10 amd64 doesn't see my LAN

Nothing at all. I can't find the network card there .

Maybe lshw shows us something.

Re: 6.10 amd64 doesn't see my LAN

Wow, thanks for all your replies, everyone.

Ok here goes.

D1SxEyes if I

ifconfig eth0 any.valid.ip.address up I get
any valid.ip.address: Hostname lookup failure

<snip>

Yeah, I used the words any, valid, ip and address as placeholders, they weren't literal, the idea was that you should type an ip address that ought to work on your network, but regardless, that doesn't look like the problem. Are you sure the network card is plugged in properly? As Javier says, there doesn't seem to be anything in that which you just posted that could be your network card.

Also, yeah, one question per thread, makes life easier!

[Tuxgrrrl]

who was that?

Confused.
There are 3 of us here using the same machine to find everything also.
We see that Nakrull's question was misunderstood here at our end.
We do not wish to confuse this more.

It is our consensus that Nakrull's NIC is functional and we shall not pursue ours here.
Sorry to confuse you all.

Re: 6.10 amd64 doesn't see my LAN

ok ok lets get back to the subject
let us not argue betwen us lets just help Lilac_Haze

i have some questions for Lilac_Haze
did you edit the bios settings of your motherboard,
i supose you had to change something to boot the install-cd

what motherboard do you have
do you have onboard lan or sound card
did you by mistake disable your motherboard sound and lan card if you have them and they are disabled linux wont even see the resources in lshw
my asus motherboard CAN disable in the bios the onboard lan and sound card
if you had them disabled i dont know if linux will autodetect and install them once enabled
but "sudo lshw" should show them as "UNCLAIMED"
it should say
*-network: UNCLAIMED
*-multimedia: UNCLAIMED
or something alike

Re: 6.10 amd64 doesn't see my LAN

Hi, sorry to be so long in getting back only couldn't find how to copy files from kubuntu into windows so that I could post info for you.

javierrivera, this is what I get if I

sudo lshw

Re: 6.10 amd64 doesn't see my LAN

[quote=Lilac_Haze ]
javierrivera, this is what I get if I

sudo lshw

I can't find the network card there. Is it built-in in the motherboard?, then check your BIOS it could be disabled there.

I'm assuming that the card works on windows, if not, check the conections.

If it's note even in lshw as unclaimed... it's quite strange. Maybe is related to:

-bridge UNCLAIMED

Maybe there is something not supported on your motherboard...

Can you try another distro like Knoppix? Does the network work with it?.

Javier.

[Lilac_Haze]

Re: 6.10 amd64 doesn't see my LAN

D1SxEyes,

Thankyou for trying to help me. I'm sorry I must seem totally dense to you, but that is what happens when your dealing with a noobie like me.

Nakrull,

To answer your questions, the only thing I changed in BIOS was to get it to boot from the CD first.

My motherboard is an Asus M2N-MX and I have both onboard lan and onboard sound. For now I can live without sound.
I wouldn't know how to disable my lan or sound but both work fine in windoze.
I am posting this from the same machine, just the windoze part.

javierrivera

I think the above answers your quetions too.
I will try knoppix although I'm not too hopeful as kanotix doesn't work on here either.

I will let you know.

Praying someone can help me.
Thank you

[javierrivera]

Re: 6.10 amd64 doesn't see my LAN

Asus M2N-MX

After some googling seems like this motherboard is supported only from kernel-2.6.18. *ubuntu 6.10 uses 2.6.17.

So unless this driver is backported we are at a dead end. There are a couple of solutions:

- Try Edgy. It's the development version of the next Kubuntu so it's not too stable. But it has the 2.6.19 kernel, so it should work
- Move to another distro. Just check that they use a more modern kernel.
- Compile our own kernel. Quite complicated, and probably you'll finish with a system less stable than Edgy.

Anyway, please, can you download and check the Edgy Live-Cd?. If it works the info will be very useful for other people with your same motherboard.

Javier.

[Lilac_Haze]

Re: 6.10 amd64 doesn't see my LAN

javierrivera,

Thank you for all your time. I really do appreciate it. If its any help to you I have just tried Knoppix 5.1.1 and I have a network connection of sorts. I can get to the google website ok but if I try to go through to anywhere else it appears to time out.

Anyway I did

ifconfig

while I was in Knoppix. If you would like the results or any further info I can glean which may be of use to either yourself or others please PM me. This would probably be better than posting stuff not actually relevent to kubuntu on this forum.

Many thanks
Lilac_Haze

[javierrivera]

Re: 6.10 amd64 doesn't see my LAN

Please could you post the kernel version that this knoppix is using?

You can get it with the command:

uname -a

If it's above 2.6.17, we can comfirm this issue is probably kernel related.

Javier.

[Nakrull]

Re: 6.10 amd64 doesn't see my LAN

tks javierrivera to make us all shut up jeje

a week ago, after changing the bios-batterie i forgot to re-enable the onboard lan and sound card
so i had no lan or sound and they did not show up on lshw not even unclaimed, so i tought this might be the problem you had

nakrull

[Lilac_Haze]

Re: 6.10 amd64 doesn't see my LAN

Please could you post the kernel version that this knoppix is using?

You can get it with the command:

Code:
uname -a

If it's above 2.6.17, we can comfirm this issue is probably kernel related.

Linux Knoppix 2.6.19 #7 SMP PREEMPT Sun Dec 17 22.10.07 CET 2006 i686 GNU/Linux

Hope this helps

Regards to all. Just off to find edgy live download.
Many thanks

Lilac_Haze

[Lilac_Haze]

Re: 6.10 amd64 doesn't see my LAN

Don't want to appear stupid but I just realised it's edgy I have installed on my machine. (Kubuntu 6.10)

Maybe this is not a kernel issue after all?

[javierrivera]

Re: 6.10 amd64 doesn't see my LAN

No. It was my mistake. Edgy is the current release, also known as 6.10, it uses the 2.6.17 kernel. Feisty is the next release, hopefully 7.04, and it uses the 2.6.19 kernel.

When I talked about Edgy I was trying to mean Feisty.

Sorry.

Javier.

[Lilac_Haze]

Re: 6.10 amd64 doesn't see my LAN

Hope I've got this right. I'm in the process of downloading Feisty-desktop-amd64.iso from here:

http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/

It may take a while but I will post again when I've looked at it.
