Chinab, I would suggest at this stage that you try the default Angstrom build from the Gumstix development web site. I'm outside my own experience now, but I've read that there was an updated Ethernet part which wasn't compatible with previous kernels. If that's the case, and assuming that you don't have any board issues, then their build is the best place to start to verify its working first. After its up and running, you can optimise later.

Subject: Re: [Gumstix-users] eth1 not working in Gumstix Hi Ben, I typed all those commands as well and still it does not show me eth1. "ifconfig eth1 up" and "dhclient eth1" shows me the same output as previous: ifconfig: SIOCGIFFLAGS: No such device Is it because my smsc driver is very old? I am thinking so because my boot log shows the following: smsc911x: Driver version 2008-10-21. smsc911x-mdio: probed eth0: attached PHY driver [Generic PHY] (mii_bus:phy_addr=ffffffff:01, irq=-1) net eth0: MAC Address: 00:15:c9:28:e3:8e It shows nothing relating to eth1 at all.

Also, I should have typed "ifconfig -a", not "ifconfig -all". So, in correction: "ifconfig -a" "ifconfig eth1 up" "dhclient eth1" Sorry about that, Ben From: Chinab Chugh [mailto:chi...@gm...] Sent: 04 October 2011 08:15 To: General mailing list for gumstix users. Subject: Re: [Gumstix-users] eth1 not working in Gumstix Hi Ben, I tried the following statements with the output as follows: root@overo:~# ifconfig -all ifconfig: -all: error fetching interface information: Device not found root@overo:~# sudo ifconfig eth1 up -sh: sudo: not found root@overo:~# sudo dhclient eth1 -sh: sudo: not found root@overo:~# ifconfig eth1 up ifconfig: SIOCGIFFLAGS: No such device root@overo:~# dhclient eth1 ifconfig: SIOCSIFADDR: No such device Does this mean that the eth1 is not detected. Does it have to be initialized somewhere? Chinab On Mon, Oct 3, 2011 at 5:21 PM, Ben Harrison <si...@lo...> wrote: Cinab, Can you try typing: "ifconfig -all" - and see if eth1 appears in that list? If it does, try: "sudo ifconfig eth1 up" "sudo dhclient eth1" ...If that works, you can make the change permanent by editing /proc/network/interfaces (google for syntax or copy what's there).

Subject: [Gumstix-users] eth1 not working in Gumstix Hi All, I have tried to design an expansion board which is exactly similar to the Tobi-Duo in its schematics (and also has 2 ethernet ports). I built a very simple kernel image comprised of from an online builder (http://narcissus.angstrom-distribution.org/). During run-time, when I try 'ifconfig -a', I am shown two connections - 'eth0' (this one works completely fine) and 'lo' (Link encap: Local Loopback .......). Although I expect eth1 to appear, it does not. I am pretty sure that the hardware of the expansion board is fine because I noticed that if I use an online standard kernel image downloaded from http://cumulus.gumstix.org/images/angstrom/factory/, both eth0 and eth1 do work! However, I would rather not use such a bulky kernel for a simple task of mine. Why is the eth1 not initialized/ready? I would appreciate any suggestions to help me solve this issue. Thanks!
