I booted an OS from a live CD. The OS boots successfully but eth0 fails to start. I checked lspci
, it outputs these Ethernet card details:
(Broadcom Netextreme II BCM5716 GBabyte ethernet)
ifconfig -a
returns only the loopback interfaces lo
and sit0
. The output of dmesg | grep -I 'eth'
is:
"Netfront : initializing network ethernet driver"
When I run service network restart
I get:
"Obtaining IP for lo [FAILED]
WARNING: Deprecated config gile /etc/modprobe.conf , all config files belong into /etc/modprobe.d/
Device eth0 does not seem to be present, delaying initialization [FAILED]"
The output of MII-tool -v
is:
No MII interface found.
I was also able to find the kernel module bnx2.ko
. I did insmod
and lsmod
lists it. I am not sure what exactly is the issue or how to debug this problem. Any assistance or pointers will be helpful.
