hi mojo

thank you very much for your in depth reply.

i've tried running the machine with the 8139 ehternet with slitaz 2.0 and it works out of the box.

it seems that slitaz cooking 20091104 was missing the module files:

tux@slitaz:~$ sudo find / -iname *8139too*
/sys/bus/pci/drivers/8139too

i've tried the new 20100221 cooking and the two module files are missing here also:

/sys/module/8139too
/sys/module/8139too/drivers/pci:8139too

are they coming back?

8139too is built into kernel (and not as a module). No change since Stable 2.0. From kernel config:

 CONFIG_8139TOO=y

Its strange its not working for u out of the box. Something else may not be right. Can you post your "dmesg|tail "

some where in dmesg it says :

8139too Fast Ethernet driver 0.9.28
8139too 0000:00:0b.0: This (id 10ec:8139 rev 20) is an enhanced 8139C+ chip, use 8139cp

could this be the problem? 8139cp not compiled in kernel or as module?

Here are the info from the compaq n1020v p180x430vc250

Yes, you are right.8139cp is not included. From Kernel configs:

# CONFIG_8139CP is not set 

As we are preparing for Slitaz 3.0 release, I don't think Slitaz team will change the linux kernel config. Its frozen right now. We will include this after 3.0 release.

For now, what you can do at your end is to change this line in kernel linux-2.6.30.6-slitaz.config file to

CONFIG_8139CP=y 

then recook the kernel.

 tazwok cook linux 

Reinstall. It should be ok.

super. will do. thanks.

maybe is it a good idea to make a tazpkg with extra modules for newbie slitaz users.

especially with ethernet is important to have as many modules as possible, as you are dead in the water without it.

@Peter,
I need to cook my kernel. As I understood, you are going to do the same as well.

But before cooking, firstly I should clone the wok (right??). And it does not work for me, as stated here:

http://forum.slitaz.org/index.php/discussion/676/can-not-clone-the-wok/#Item_1

Would you mind giving me a hand?
Please write down the list of all console operations needed to cook kernel with new option (8139cp for example). I mean the ones you are using.
It may help me to figure out what I am doing wrong.

Thank you in advance for your help.
Stephane

I know this is an older thread, but I've got the exact same issue. Since I don't have a spare computer to install Slitaz on and compile a new kernel, and networking doesn't work on the machine where I have Slitaz installed, I'm completely stuck.

It would be really nice if someone made the .ko available, even just as a download, although a package would be much nicer. ATM, I've resorted to emailing one guy who blogged about this issue in the hopes he will email me his .ko.... While I'm waiting, I'm going to install Tiny Core in the hopes it doesn't have this issue...

Chris.

Post your Kernel version from:

tux@slitaz: uname -r

The 8139cp module will have to be compiled against your kernel version or it will not work.
