Re: Ethernet card does not work after Mother Board Change



Butch Kemper(kemper@xxxxxxxxx) is reported to have said:

I built a system using 4.0r2 net-install and have kernel 2.6.18-5-k7 installed.

The motherboard failed and the replacement board has a different type
ethernet card.

In the kern.log file, I can see the ethernet card is recognized and
called eth0 but:

The card is not connected to eth0 in ifconfig - there is no
eth0.

There is not an interrupt level in /proc/interrupts for the
ethernet card.

If I try an ifup eth0, I get an error about a non-existant
device.

I tried entering the driver name in /etc/modules but that does not help.

I need some assistance on how to proceed to get the system to properly
setup the ethernet card.


check the file
/etc/udev/rules.d/z25_persistent-net.rules

I suspect that there is now more then one eth0 entry.

ISTR that commenting out the old entry didn't work, so remove it and
reboot.
