[Gumstix-users] SIOCGIFINDEX failed!: No such device

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 454-5900

I just rcv'd a new connex and I'm trying to bring a netCF board
(actually have two) up for ethernet. But, I'm having problems.

I commented out bluetooth and wlan (since I have neither) in
/etc/network/interfaces and uncommented for eth0 to:

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

But, I rcv the error:

====
root@gumstix-custom-basix:~$ /etc/init.d/networking start
Setting up IP spoofing protection: rp_filter.
Configuring network interfaces... udhcpc (v1.2.1) started
SIOCGIFINDEX failed!: No such device
done.
===

If I make eth0 static and try, I receive basically the same error:

===
root@gumstix-custom-basix:~$ ifup eth0
SIOCSIFADDR: No such device
SIOCSIFNETMASK: No such device
SIOCGIFFLAGS: No such device
route: SIOC[ADD|DEL]RT: No such device
===
     -- OR --

SIOCGIFFLAGS: No such device

done.

At boot, it looks like the system recognizes the netCF device:

I've tried this on two netCF boards with the same result. I couldn't
find anything on the wikis about bringing the eth0 up with this type
of error. I had another connex board that DID work by modifying the
/etc/networking/interfaces file or executing: 'ifup eth0". But, this
board does not (the other board is a bit old.)

For reference:
