No internet after fresh installation

Post by helam »

lspci:
04:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 01)
05:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+ (rev 10)
After installation no internet, no connection to router, nothing...
It's ridiculous that if I need something , I need Internet, so where are drivers for these cards I can get?

Any more info? What type of installation did you do? How did you set up your network? What modules are running?

Last software downloaded from the website - 32 bit.
Not at all, I put autoinstallation, click, click, click..., reboot, open gui - lsmod shows nothing about these drivers, ifconfig -a -> does not connect where I put manually all settings, gateway does not set up too.
web browsers does shoe nothing.
ping shows no respose from http://www.yahoo.com and from 192.168.1.1 (router).
modules? - by default defined by creators of the salixos.

As I understand the problem is not my hardware 9I used before debian lenny), the problem where to get ...ed drivers -(at home I can not do it - saliox installed, at work on winxp I need direct link to download...)

You didn't understand my questions...

1. What type of installation did you do? Core/Basic/Full?
2. How did you setup your network? Are you using wicd, netconf, something else? Are you using DHCP, or did you set a static IP? What is the output of ifconfig -a?
3. What modules are running? Or else: what is the output of lsmod?

It would be indeed, but as it turns out, available drivers (in your case, r8169.ko, it seems) are already included with the kernel (look in /lib/modules/2.6.29.6-smp/kernel/drivers/net), no need to 'get' them from Internet.

The answers to the above queries will help understand why it apparently did not load as expected & how to eventually help you to set it correctly.

What really matters is where you are going, not where you come from.
