[opensuse] No eth after installation
Hello! I've tried to install openSUSE 12.3. Computer has Davicom Semiconductor ethernet controller installed. Usually I use ISO for Net installation. During installation openSUSE uses Internet, but after installation there is no ethernet connection (no eth0). I have found out that to enable ethernet connection I have to type modprobe dmfe. Do you know how to enable dmfe module by default? Thank you! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Ah, RTFM/Google I usually recommend using 'apropos' to find out what manual pages are relevant. Try 'apropos modprobe' "The Answer is out there ..." To be honest, I would have expected the installer to have probed the hardware and automatically configured the drivers if they could be found. I've installed from the DVD on some odd hardware -- mobos and boards -- and its always done that. Its also presented a summary before committing & proceeding to install the kernel & packages to disk so that I can alter such things. Didn't you get such? -- "Context is everything" -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Yes . steps - Fill a bug report against the kernel, it must load the dmfe driver automatically - echo "dmfe" > /etc/modules.load/dmfe.conf will workaround the problem for now. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I don't know about your system, but on mine, in /etc/modprobe.d/50-blacklist.conf there is the line blacklist dmfe Presumably that would zap other efforts and would need to be taken out! -- My definition of an expert in any field is a person who knows enough about what's really going on to be scared.

Oh, right, it is blacklisted probably for a very good reasons (or due to a legacy problem that is no longer valid :-S) change dmfe for "tulip" ANYWAY, open a bug report. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
Thank you! This computer is quite old, so it's a rare case and I think there is no need to file a bug report. 25.03.2013 21:56, Cristian Rodríguez пишет:
