Can't use ethernet on Aspire One D250

Hello,

I am using Arch on my desktop box, and want to put it on my Aspire One D250 (currently running Debian).  I followed instructions on the wiki <http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Acer_aspire_one>, and installed from the "core" image, then installed the latest kernel packages, but still no joy.  The command

dhclient eth0

complains that eth0 does not exist.  I get a similar error while booting.  Inserting the module r8169 with

modprobe r8169

does not seem to help.

At the time of writing, the latest kernel version in the (stable) Arch repository is 2.6.33.

Thanks,
Aidan

Re: Can't use ethernet on Aspire One D250

aidalgol,

there are many reports on the net concerning the Aspire One D250 Ethernet.

Google for "Linux Aspire One D250 atheros" or "Aspire One D250 atheros arch".

Anyhow do a lspci to see if the hardware shows the Ethernet adapter. If it does, execute "ifconfig -a" to see
if the software sees it.
