Installation issues / network problems on new 8.10 beta
« on: October 17, 2009, 03:27:47 am »
I am using:
A Gigabyte MA785GM-US2H motherboard with realtek 8169, I did read up about those problems.
I then tried a fresh install after I disabled the onboard NIC, using a very common Intel pro/100 PCI nic.
It was probed as an e100 in /var/log/dmesg and shows up as eth0 in the desktop network configurator as disconnected.
No amount messing around at the desktop would do anything, so I went to console.
I've tried editing /etc/network/interfaces manually to set it as either dhcp or with a static address. I can bring it up or down, but it never shows an address.
I tried all the same with an Intel Pro/1000MT as well.
