While trying to setup your network (e.g. while booting) you get error messages as:
Setup Network device eth0 SIOCIFADDR: No such device SIOCIFBRDADDR: No such device SIOCIFMASK: No such device
The networking module has not been loaded automatically. Possibly it has not been needed for the installation.
If the kerneld
should load the driver (the module) for your
networking device it expects the settings to be in
/etc/conf.modules
(or /etc/modules.conf
)
For a NE2000 compatible card this might look like this (instead of
ne
there might be a off
):
alias eth0 ne # falls weitere Angaben benoetigt werden, bitte # das folgende Kommentarzeichen entfernen # options ne io=0x300 irq=5
Here is the alias for an 3c905 adapter:
alias eth0 3c59x
If the device needs special options make sure the corresponding
options
line is uncommented. (remove the "#
" and add
the appropriate values).
If this still fails to load you should integrate the driver into the kernel.
If you use LILO for booting an append
line in
/etc/lilo.conf
might be necessary:
append="ether=5,0x300,eth0"
This enforces the kernel to use the interrupt 5
and the address
0x300
. Of course you will have to adapt these values to your
needs! After having changed /etc/lilo.conf
you need to
invoke /sbin/lilo
!
