ant install any net !

lietuva · 2006-06-23 14:19:18

3 Weeks ago I bought a ASUS A6jC and I started using Ubuntu 'cos my lovely arch didn't want to install on it.

The only problem is that none of my ethX are recognized, I have a ipw3945 and a Realtek RTL8168/8111. There isn't a module for any of those on the install cd and I cannot use it anymore.
Can I do something or just wait???

Thanx

i've done a quick google search and found there are plenty of people having the same problem.

It appears intel doesn't support the ipw3945 under linux yet, but you might be able to use the windows driver through ndiswrapper.

for the rtl8168/8111 you can find the sourcecode for a driver at the realtek website.

i downloaded and compiled the rtl8168 drivers from realtek but upon loading the driver, ifconfig shows only a lonely lo interface, which is actually a step backwards from where i was earlier. i tried also enabling my wireless card by loading the bcm43xx driver but this failed in the same manner. I am using a brand new dell vostro with windows vista on the main partition.

Any ideas?

This thread is over two years old - you should really start a new one.

That said, the r8169 module provided by the kernel should work, according to gentoo-wiki. If you really need the realtek-supplied version, standard advice if a module doesn't work is to check dmesg for errors after loading it.

For your wireless card, bcm43xx has been replaced by either b43 or b43legacy - most likely b43 in your case.

One more thing - ifconfig only shows active interfaces. Use the -a flag to see all interfaces.
