My X20 runs a quite old kernel 2.2.20(network is okay), so I download a new kernel 2.4.30, loaded old config file and the ONLY change is "add apm support" and compiled it with old Ethernet options like following:
[*] Ethernet (10 or 100Mbit) < > Sun Happy Meal 10/100baseT support < > Sun GEM & Apple GMAC support [*] 3COM cards <*> 3c590/3c900 series (592/595/597) "Vortex/Boomerang" support < > 3cr990 series "Typhoon" Support [*] Western Digital/SMC cards [*] Racal-Interlan (Micom) NI cards <M> HP 10/100VG PCLAN (ISA, EISA, PCI) support [] EISA, VLB, PCI and on board controllers [] Pocket and portable adapters system loaded new kernel well except network can not bring up. use "ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.19" give information: SIOCSIFADDR: no such device eth0: ERROR while getting interface flags: no such device with lspci it outputs: ... 00.0a.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corp. 82557 [Ethernet Pro 100] (rev 09) ... and content my /etc/network/interfaces is: auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 192.178.1.19 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 192.168.1.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255 gateway 192.168.1.254 everything seems fine. Any suggestions! Thanks in Advance!
