Hi,
After certain software installation or some mistake, my Internet on my Fedora 10 machine is not working. The motherboard is of ASUS P5KPL-CM, which has the inbuilt ethrnet Lan (ATHEROS AR8121 PCIE Gigabit LAN controller). I am providing further details regarding this problem.
1- When I do ping 127.0.0.1, it replies. Does that indicate my inbuilt ethernet card is NOT damaged?
[root@Heshsham ~]# ping 127.0.0.1

2- When I do dmesg | grep eth, I get the following:
Driver 'sd' needs updating -please use bus type methods
Driver 'sr' needs updating -please use bus type methods
3- Result of ifconfig -a
As can be seen it shows pan0 for bluetooth (perhaps), but I dont have any bluetooth modem. It is not showing any ethernet card. ln relation to pan0 what does the following line signify
pan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 8E:3D:71:E1:42:89
[root@Heshsham ~]# ifconfig -a

==========================
To solve this I thought the driver is corrupted so installed the driver again following theses steps:
) I installed ubuntu hardy 64bit, i has build-essential package installed
2) Then i downloaded the linux driver from:
http://support.asus.com/download/dow...model=P5KPL-CM
(as per my original post)
3) I then transfered the driver via usb stick to my laptop and unpacked the zip. (Actually i unpacked it on windows first as it has a .rar file that i could not unpack on linux Then i packed it up again on windows).
4) cd into <HOME_DIR>/LinuxDrivers/L1e_Lan/l1e-l2e-linux-v1.0.0.4/src
5) then i ran: sudo KBUILD_NOPEDANTIC=1 make
6) then i ran: sudo KBUILD_NOPEDANTIC=1 make install
7) that worked and put a driver in /lib/modules/2.6.24-16-generic/kernel/drivers/net/atl1e/at1le.ko
8 ) i cd into that director and i run: sudo insmod ./atl1e.ko
I diid not get any errors so far I can see driver in /lib/modules/2.6.24-16-generic/kernel/drivers/net/atl1e/.
But still I am facing the same problem, my ethernet card is not detected, although ping 127.0.0.1 is replying perfectly, indicating that my lan card is working fine.
I will really appreciate your suggestions here. I have tried my best, but still I am unable to solve this problem.
Thanks in advance,
Heshsham
