Hi,
This seems like an easy problem but I've searched all over without
explicit solution.
I'm fiddling with a computer which I've not turn on for a while. My
ethernet interface which comes with the motherboard did not appear (not
with ifconfig -a),
What did dmesg and /var/log/syslog indicate?
so I plugged in another ethernet card and now it
shows on ifconfig -a. But LAN connection is still not working. I noticed
that eth0 is down and tries "ifup eth0" and it says "SIOCSIFFLAGS:
Cannot assign requested address" twice and "failed to bring up eth0".
I donno what the problem is. The /etc/network/networking script was a
working script before.
dmesg | grep "eth0" shows nothing alarming. It says RealTek RTL8139
something something IRQ 20 Identified 8139 chip type blah blah.
What can I do to get it back on?
Googling the complete error message seems to indicate that the
proper driver module did not get loaded.
