Hi everyone,
I just installed Archlinux on my latpop and everything went fine, I used a liveCD. The installation process was able to detect my network card and use it to retrieve data from Internet.
Now when I boot the system I get an "eth0: unknown interface: No such device". Of course nothing but "lo" in ifconfig -a...
I checked the file /etc/rc.conf and everything seems fine (I use DHCP).
eth0="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(eth0)
gateway="default gw 192.168.1.1"
ROUTES=(!gateway)I tried to add several modules in rc.conf without results. I tried network restart but I always get
eth0: unknown interface: No such device
dhcpcd : eth0 interface not found or invalid
dhcpcd: timed outI also tried to set up manually an IP adress but same result...
Looks like the system was able to find my network card from the liveCD but not in the installed version !
Any help would be very greatly appreciated as I cannot even install Xorg without the network...
My knowledges in linux are mid-begginer (I come from Ubuntu).

what card do you have?

You can use 'lspci' to see what ethernet controller you have, and 'lsmod' to see if the proper module has been loaded Instead of testing by adding modules to rc.conf, just load and unload them with 'modprobe'. When you get the right one loaded, then add it to rc.conf.

Hi, thanks a lot for your answer. I solved the issue with my card (a Marvell Yukon 88E8040T and my wireless) by adding the following text to the kernel line in the GRUB. : pci=use_crs
