Re: No ethernet connection -

How is the ethernet connection made/assigned, whatever? I made
some changes via chkconfig and lost eth0 and eth1. Ethtool
simply reports no devices. Is there a routine for setting up
eth"x" or does it just have to happen automatically? That seems
unlikely.


With the caveat, I am still on Fedora 14 and haven't tried to upgrade yet,
I assume Fedora 15 still has needed configuration files in /etc/modprobe.d.

What is in your /etc/modprobe.d/local.conf?

My Fedora 14 /etc/modprobe.d/local.conf file contains the following:
rsewill@rsewill:~ <3:1> $ more /etc/modprobe.d/local.conf
alias eth0 via-rhine
alias eth1 via-rhine
alias eth2 forcedeth
alias scsi_hostadapter libata
alias scsi_hostadapter1 sata_nv
alias scsi_hostadapter2 pata_amd
alias scsi_hostadapter3 usb-storage
options snd cards_limit=8
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
options snd-hda-intel index=0
alias snd-card-7 snd-usb-audio
options snd-usb-audio index=7

On Fedora 14 this was how I associated which ethernet driver for which device.
I assume it's still the same way on Fedora 15.

Another person is having sound problems, and I remember there is sound stuff
in /etc/modprobe.d/local.conf too.

I am wondering if Fedora 15 did things to the modprobe files -or-
if the format of the modprobe files has changed -or-
if the modprobe files have been replaced by something else.

I will try to upgrade to Fedora 15, in time. At this moment, I am hesitant.
I have an old system, with limited RAM. I need to have good file backups.
I am concerned my attempt to upgrade to Fedora 15 may fail.
