hello

i can't get to run network the best i got out of it was
siocaddrt: network unreachable.

i think it might be because i haven't added anything to modprobe.conf. however, i just don't know what to add.

i have Marvell Yukon Gigabit Ethernet 10/100/1000Base-T Adapter, Copper RJ-45. i hope you know what it means...

Try putting sk98lin in the MODULES section of /etc/rc.conf and be sure to fill out the networking sections of the same file,

Let us know...

thanks it worked

to be honest, i didn't really believe it would as it's my i think 4th or 5th attempt at networking in arch and every time i'd spend up to a week browsing the forums and asking at irc a lot and nothing ever helped.

but this did. thank you once again

rc.conf is the place to configure the modules.

I also suggest theses manpages :

man ifconfig
man iwconfig
man route
man dhcpcd

Arch Linux
