Problem:
Your on-board network card is not being recognized
correctly and therefore the wrong drivers are attempting to be loaded
and fail to initialize.
Solution:
You may manually set the network card
configuration by running this command where EthernetDriverX is 1 for
eth0 (LAN) and 2 for eth2 (EXTERNAL) and module is the name of the
correct network driver module:
/sbin/e-smith/config set EthernetDriverX module
/sbin/e-smith/signal-event console-save
As an example, the AOpen MX3S motherboard with
on-board Intel 10/100 requires the e100 module however e-smith 4.1.1
autorecognizes and tries to load eepro100. To set eth0 to use the
module e100 enter these commands:
/sbin/e-smith/config set EthernetDriver1 e100
/sbin/e-smith/signal-event console-save
Run the command 'ifconfig' to view the current
network card status:
