please help, network problem (solved)

hey guys. I am back with my second post, which is a network problem. I had everything setup and running awesome. But I just rebooted and I cant connect to the internet.

Upon boot is FAILS written in red when it says: setting hostname and also FAILS when starting the the network.

My /etc/rc.conf looks fine which is setup for dhcp.

lo="lo 127.0.0.1"
eth0="dhcp"
interface(lo eth0)
(!gateway)

when in root if I run /etc/rc.d/network start  it still FAILS.

i ran dhcpcd eth0 up and I get this:
                             eth0: unkown interface: No such device

I think this happend after the recent pacman -Syu but I dont know for sure. Another thing is, I never needed to put my eth0 driver into the rc.conf MODULES. I tried it now to see if that was the problem, and it still is not working.

But it is also failing, as I mentiod before, when it sets my host at bootup. why is that? everything is fine in my /etc/hosts file as well. I tried everything I can think of, does anyone have any suggestions? please help, this really sucks.

Re: please help, network problem (solved)

what does "hwd -s" says regarding your network adapter ?

Re: please help, network problem (solved)

i just tried to do a modprobe -v eepro100 and got this error message:

FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.10-ARCH/modules.dep : No such file or directory

if I do a ifconfig -a I don't see me eth0 card, am I supposed to?

tom.deb,  I will try the hwd -s right now, i will reboot and be back.

Re: please help, network problem (solved)

the hwd -s gives me:

Ethernet: Intel Corp. |828010B (ICH5) PRO/100 VE Ethernet Controller Module: e100

tried loading the e100 module in rc.conf but still does not work.

something got real messed up cause everything was fine for the first couple days using arch.

Re: please help, network problem (solved)

I run kernel 2.6.11.10-ARCH and it includes the modules.

$ find /lib/modules/2.6.11.10-ARCH/ -iname e100.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.11.10-ARCH/kernel/drivers/net/e100.ko
$ find /lib/modules/2.6.11.10-ARCH/ -iname eepro100.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.11.10-ARCH/kernel/drivers/net/eepro100.ko

Look yourself to see if the files are there.

download the most recent kernel26 package from your local mirror and install it.
