Network

forbi · 2013-12-21 20:34:04

Hi, im having trouble with the install. I can't get the network working. I tried to start the dhcpd@service and it fails.

The interace is enp5s0 (modules loaded)

Also tried
# ip link set enp5s0 up
# ip addr add 192.168.1.50/255.255.255.0 dev enp5s0
# ip route add default via 192.168.1.1

That didn't work

Help?

could you post the output of ip link ? I realize you may not have a network connection, so compare it to mine (after I put it up)

ewaller$@$odin ~ 1005 %ip link
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default 
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
2: enp3s0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 00:23:5a:40:e1:40 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
3: wlan0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state UP mode DORMANT group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 00:21:00:d9:45:47 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
ewaller$@$odin ~ 1006 %

Note that mine says NO-CARRIER. I hope yours do not

Also, are you sure your subnet is 192.168.1.0/24?
And, is there any reason you are not using dynamic addresses?
Lastly, is your router configured to allow routing to static addresses?

I will post my ip link soon .

My router is in dhcp (I tried to set an static ip just to see if that work, but nope ).
This is my gateway 192.168.1.1, and Mask: 24

What means "No-Carrier"?

enp5s0: <,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000

If you see that, it means the cable is disconnected either at the computer, or at the router -- or it is a bad cable . If you have no carrier, you will not have link indicator lights on either the computer or the router. The link lights should illuminate.

Yup, the link is working, at least in MicroS... Same pc.

This is mi ip link enp5s0: <,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000

That looks okay. Did the network work during the installation, and now you cannot get it to work from inside your Arch installation, or are you having problems when booting from the install media?

What make and model is your network interface? Check the output of lspci

ewaller$@$odin ~ 1009 %lspci -nn| grep Network

I do not have access to a Realtek NIC. Is this wiki sub-article applicable?

cris9288 · 2013-12-21 21:41:45

I have a simlar network interface on my laptop, and was also having some problems. I recommend getting the r8168 driver from the official repos as some people (including myself) have had more luck with it than with r8169. You'll probably have to download it from the website and save it to usb. You can then easily mount the drive and install the package from within the installation media with pacman. You'll have to modprobe -r the old module and modprobe the new one.

forbi · 2013-12-21 22:00:53

My system is x64, but I only found the r8168-8.012.00-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz, is that going to work?

Edit: I found it https://www.archlinux.org/packages/comm … _64/r8168/, now I need to learn how to make this #@&! works xD

I installed that package and removed the current module (r8169)
then I tried modprobe r8168 and im getting this:

modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'r8168': Invalid argument

What I am missing?

cris9288 · 2013-12-22 00:14:54

How did you remove r8169?

rmmod and blacklisted it

cris9288 · 2013-12-22 00:51:38

are you sure that rmmod removed the module? Did you check lsmod afterwards? Once you are positive that the old module is out, do a

 sudo modprobe -r r8168 #just to be sure

and then

 sudo modprobe r8168

Could you follow dmesg in one tty and then do the above in another tty? I don't see why that wouldn't work...to tail dmesg I believe you pass a -w switch.

I saw in in this thread: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=101836
They use the Realtek script to install the module, but the install media does not include Make, so I dont know what I can do .

I love arch, but I can not install it in this particular pc

Lone_Wolf · 2013-12-22 13:52:56

forbi, check this : https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pa … _USB_stick

So, you recommend me to install base base-devel grub-bios from local?

Im pretty stuck, because after install that, is going to be hard to get make/linux headers/etc to make the module. Maybe I will wait until a next release, maybe is going to get fixed.

Lone_Wolf · 2013-12-23 12:13:05

Forbi,

you should use that wiki entry as an example and install only what is needed to build the driver that way.
By installing base, base-devel and linux-headers you should have everything needed to build/install the driver in the install environment.
