[Astlinux-users] No network - NIC cards not recognised?

[Marcus <li...@wo...>]

I am using the latest Live CD, version 0.44. I am able to login, but the 
network is not assigning an IP. ifconfig only shows the loopback 
device. The error I see is:

SIOCGIFINDEX failed!: No such device

This same error appears if I try pppoe-discover.
I have two NIC cards installed. One uses the driver 8139too, the other 
uses b44. The b44 was not recognised -- is the driver missing?

I switched my ADSL cable to the 8139too card and it was recognised and 
loaded according to dmesg. However, the same "SIOCGIFINDEX failed!: No 
such device" appears.

Can anyone help?

Thanks,


Marcus
