| Yesterday, I upgraded my Debian/Linux box from a MSI KT4AV-L motherboard
(http://www.msi.com.tw/program/produ...ail.php?UID=456
; disabled its onboard VIA network since I didn't trust it -- used an
Intel InBusiness 10/100 (82559) NIC) to an ASUS K8V SE Deluxe
(http://www.asus.com/products4.aspx?...l1=3&l2=14&l3=0
; onboard Marvell Yukon 88E8001/8003/8010 PCI Gigabit Ethernet
Controller enabled). I removed the Intel NIC to use the onboard network.
After the hardware swap and powering up, everything seems to work except
for the network. I didn't see the ethernet listed in ifocnfig. According
to dmesg, Yukon was detected: skge 1.6 addr 0xfdb00000 irq 193 chip
Yukon-Lite rev 7 and skge eth1: addr 00:11:2f:28:63:60 ... lspci showed
00:0a.0 Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88E8001
Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 13). And yes, I enabled onboard network
in my CMOS. So, I assumed this worked.
I am using Kernel v2.6.18-2 (Linux fool 2.6.18-3-k7 #1 SMP Sun Dec 10
20:17:39 UTC 2006 i686 GNU/Linux). I know the onboard network works
because I had Windos earlier for this motherboard.
Was I supposed to do something to tell Debian/Linux that the network
interface was changed? Or is it supposed to pick it up automatcially? I
put the Intel NIC back and I have network connection without any
problems. I'd like to see if I can use onboard network.
Thank you in advance.
