Hi there, I'm having trouble getting my laptop's networks setup. It's a Dell Vostro 1310 and has a Realtek 8100c network card and the wireless card is an Intel Pro Wireless 3945.
At the moment I have neither of the cards connecting, but I haven't tried the wireless yet and need the ethernet going first as that is the way in which I connect to my adsl router.
It detected the network card's module correctly it seems as r8169 is loaded with rc.conf.
Here's part of my rc.conf:
lo="lo 127.0.0.1"
eth0="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(eth0)
gateway="default gw 192.168.1.1 eth0"
ROUTES=(gateway) /also tried ROUTES=(!gateway)
It talks about setting device profiles, however I don't know how to do that.
I wonder if the driver for my nic isn't working for my card? I have got the latest Realtek drivers but I only got errrors on a make modules clean. I also don't think it works for a kernel later than 2.6.23.
Could someone help me figure this out?

You get it from dhcp server in most cases. Restart network and see /sbin/ifconfig.

After about a week with Kubuntu and KDE4 I have come back to Archlinux. At the end of that time it wouldn't connect to my router at all. Now in Archlinux, with significantly less installed it's connecting automatically. My rc.conf is slightly different, I don't know what I did other than that, I selected iproutes and dnsutils during install of the latest 32-bit arch, but I don't know. At least it works. Here is part of my rc.conf file:
MODULES=(r8169 iwl4965 snd-mixer-oss snd-pcm-oss snd-hwdep snd-page-alloc snd-pcm snd-timer snd snd-hda-intel soundcore)
eth0="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(eth0)
gateway="default gw 192.168.1.1"
ROUTES=(gateway)Offline
