Cannot establish network connection

Hi,
I have Asus M4A89GTD/PRO USB3 motherboard and I'd like to install Arch. But I cannot establish network connection. When I try dhcpcd or dhclient, request everytime times out.

Eth0:
05:00.0 Ethernet Controller: Realtek Semiconductor CO., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 06)

dhcpcd:

dhcpcd: eth0: waiting for carrier
dhcpcd: timed out

I've tried r8169 and 8169too modules and none of them worked.

Thank you

Re: Cannot establish network connection

check dmesg for eth{0,1} entries. That should tell you if there were problems loading the kernel module for your network card.


Good ideas do not need lots of lies told about them in order to gain public acceptance.

Re: Cannot establish network connection

Try to config network in /etc/rc.conf

HOSTNAME="arch"
#eth0="eth0 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255" <--- for static IP
eth0="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(eth0)
gateway="default gw 192.168.0.1"
ROUTES=(!gateway)

Wiki say: Tha gateway can usually ignore, though some users have reported the need to define it. Try config it

PS: Sure eth0 are your network card?

Re: Cannot establish network connection

I've tried both, but no luck. However using latest archboot image instead of 2009.8 iso file worked.

Anyway - thank you both.

Re: Cannot establish network connection

I had the same problem with the same motherboard installing from the 2009.08 iso.

I updated the kernel to the latest version from the repos, and the NIC works fine now.
