[solved] No netconnection eth0 = SIS900 on Salix-14.0

Post by VAA »

The problem is only on Salix-14.0. Salix-13.37 and Slackware-14.0 work OK on the same equipment.

On Salix-14.0 is no net connection.
lsmod showed that module sis900 is loaded. but ifconfig showed that eth0 got no net address and mask from dhcp router.

Please, what else I can check?

Possibly a bad udev persistent rule. Try deleting /etc/udev/rule.d/70-persistent-net.rules and reboot

Sorry, did not help.
Content of the file (old and new) the same as in Slackware 14.0 where all is OK :(

Thanks.
dmesg helped not so mach but I so, that inet1.conf in Slackware 14.0 and in Salix 14.0 are very different.
I have copied inet1.conf from Slackware 14.0 and Salix begin to work !!!

I have not analyzed the difference, but I sink somebody removed enough old sis900 from Salix :(

Thanks very mach for the help!
