LAN ne2k-pci how?

Installed Arch Linux from the AL-AMLUG live cd.
Network is not running. How do you configure it to run?

/etc/rc.conf:

HOSTNAME="*****"  # without the domain name

MODULES=(!usbserial !ide-scsi usb-storage printer)

lo="lo 127.0.0.1"
eth0="eth0 ***.***.**.*** netmask 255.255.***.0"
INTERFACES=(lo eth0)

# lo="lo 127.0.0.1"
# eth0="dhcp"     # I'm not using dhcp
# INTERFACES=(lo)

gateway="default gw ***.***.**.***"
ROUTES=(gateway)

#
# Daemons to start at boot-up (in this order)
#   (prefix a daemon with a ! to disable it)
#
DAEMONS=(syslogd klogd !pcmcia network crond netfs fam cups)

/etc/hosts

<ip-address>    <hostname.domain.org>    <hostname>
127.0.0.1    localhost.localdomain    localhost
***.***.**.***    *****.*****.hu        *****

/etc/host.conf

order hosts,bind
multi on

/etc/resolv.conf

#search <yourdomain.tld>
search    *****.hu
#nameserver <ip>
nameserver    ***.***.*.**

/etc/rc.d/network start

SIOCSIFADDR: No such device
eth0: unknown interface: No such device
SIOCSIFNETMASK: No such device
SIOCADDRT: Network is unreachable

Re: LAN ne2k-pci how?

Hi ariszto.

As long as the following does work as root:

modprobe ne2k-pci

you can change the line in /etc/rc.conf from:

MODULES=(!usbserial !ide-scsi usb-storage printer)

to:

MODULES=(!usbserial !ide-scsi usb-storage ne2k-pci  printer)

Regards,

Win

Away from Arch Linux for a while, now I am back. Listing ne2k-pci among the modules does the trick. Thanks, Win!
