slack-13 32bit fails NFS install with e100 NIC?
in [Slackware]

From: Grant on 11 Mar 2010 15:25 Hi there, Tries a couple times to install slack-13 to an old pIII box and the installer fails to setup the Intel pro/100 NIC with e100 driver. I also tried to manually setup the NIC but the response to the ifconfig command was something like SIO??? device not found message. modprobe works and lsmod shows the driver is loaded along with mii. Another possibility is that the tiny e100 firmware blob is missing? There's no sign of it under /lib/firmware. Anyone seen this issue? Hmm, try the huge.s? Nope, it does the same thing after auto setup NIC: # ifconfig eth0 192.168.3.22 up ifconfig: SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory lsmod correctly shows e100 + mii are loaded. What went wrong here? Grant.

I have seen something similar with t.ex. the tg3 netcard. The module loaded, but the interface did not work. The only solution I found was to use an older kernel. -- Morten L

Do you have to have a static IP? dhcpcd eth0 works here.

Hmm, the auto setup (installer offers to setup NIC) would've got an IP from the localnet DHCP server, that didn't work, nor did the static IP manual setup. Grant.

The only >solution I found was to use an older kernel. Yeah, I don't think slack-13 was much good for older hardware, I'll burn a DVD and try installing from that. Grant.
