[gNewSense-users] eepro100 does not 'attach' to eth0

[Keith Meyer]

Hey Everyone,

I've tried various "hacks" and "work arounds" for this problem.  I have a Dell Inspiron 2200 and I just installed gNewSense 1.1.  When it boots it won't load the eepro100 module that is needed for the Intel built-in ethernet.  No biggie so I just run `modprobe eepro100` however running `ifconfig` will show only the loopback. After that I tried running `ifconfig eth0 up` still no dice, it gives an error that is along the lines of it's not a real device.

 

Any ideas where to go from here?
