[Solved]Installed arch but got no internet

henningphan · 2011-03-30 17:12:26

Hi!
I doesnt have any internet and my driver doesnt seem to auto load.
when typing ifconfig -a, eth0 doesnt show up, someone told me that the drivers wasnt loaded, and that I should use modprobe, but Im new and dont know what Im supposed to do.

Well, we need more information on your PC
What are you using to connect to the Internet? A USB dongle with wireless, ethernet port on the motherboard or on a PCI card, etc.?

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ne … ice_module

Those instructions should tell you how to figure out what module you need as well as
how to load it.

Edit: Also, you should post the output of "ifconfig -a". Just because eth0 doesn't
show up doesn't mean you don't have an interface. It could be simply named something
else.

Could you please post the output of lspci -v It will be long, so use BBCode code tags when you post it.

Im atm using a wired connection, I have a broadcom bcm57780 ethernet PCIe (rev 01) so I guess im using a pci card. Not entirely sure how to see my hardware any command in linux?
I do have wireless too, its a laptop, Acer aspire 5742g

Henningphan.
I think our posts crossed each other.

Not entirely sure how to see my hardware any command in linux?

That would be the lspci command

henningphan · 2011-03-30 17:31:08

ewaller, Im sitting on another computer, how so I can access internet, how should I post the output? dont really want to write it all out T_T

is there also a command so I can scroll up the screen?, I can just see the bottom of the output

Well, I would use a thumb drive. Mount the drive and redirect the output of the command to a file on the thumb drive.

Regardless, I think the driver you require is tg3.
Check to see if the driver is loaded using lsmod
Also look through dmesg for clues. Try commands like dmesg | grep eth or dmesg | grep tg3 or dmesg | Broadcom

lspci -v > somefilename

then copy the file to usb and then use the other computer to paste it here using code tags

dmesg eth

eth%d: No PHY devices

dmesg eth

tg3.c:v3.106 (January 12, 2010)
tg3 0000:02:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16
tg3 0000:02:00.0: setting latency timer to 64
tg3 mdio bus: probed
tg3: Problem fetching invariants of chip, aborting.
tg3 0000:02:00.0: PCI INT A disabled

broadcom had no output

lsmod |grep tg3 had no output, so If I dont have tg3, how to get it?

Solved:
"modprobe tg3" //it helps me get eth0
than
"dhcpcd eth0" /to ask for an ip

problem solved, now I just need to find out why tg3 doesnt autoload or how to autoload it.
