No network connection in Linux 3.0 (P5Q Deluxe)

After upgrading to Linux 3.0 I can't get any kind of network connection. I am using the on-board network adaptor on Asus P5Q Deluxe motherboard. There are two NICs using the skge and sky2 modules.

I have gone back to 2.6.39 until I can fix the problem.

In previous kernel versions these drivers could be a bit unreliable. Sometimes after boot they didn't work, but a reboot usually solved it. I tried rebooting many times but it didn't work on the 3.0 kernel.

Re: No network connection in Linux 3.0 (P5Q Deluxe)

check to see if the needed modules are blacklisted.

There's no such thing as a stupid question, but there sure are a lot of inquisitive idiots !

Post the output of

ls -1 /etc/modprobe.d/

If you find your sound and net modules blacklisted, read https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 74#p968474

Looks fine. Can you modprobe the needed modules by hand? What's the output of 'ip addr'?

Re: No network connection in Linux 3.0 (P5Q Deluxe)

OK, if I boot up and reconfigure the network adaptor on eth1, it works. When I reboot again configured on eth1 it doesn't work, but if I reconfigure it on eth0 it works again. Very strange.

The modules seem to always be loaded, that doesn't seem to be the problem.

Re: No network connection in Linux 3.0 (P5Q Deluxe)

The problem is, whatever driver gets loaded first will get eth0 and the other eth1. But the loading order can be different on each reboot. You'll need to use udev rules to give the two network cards persistent naming. Create a /etc/udev/rules.d/70-network.rules:

SUBSYSTEM=="net", ATTR{address}=="aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff", NAME="eth0"
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ATTR{address}=="ff:ee:dd:cc:bb:aa", NAME="eth1"

Replace those addresses with the actual mac addresses of your two networks cards, of course.

Re: No network connection in Linux 3.0 (P5Q Deluxe)

Thanks a lot, that worked. Strange that the order of interfaces swaps around every time. Maybe that's why it was sometimes failing on 2.6.x, hopefully this solved it for good.

On a side note, I tried to get bonding to work by following the wiki, but with no success.
