Jeg har lidt problemer med at få mit nyindkøbte gigabit-netværkskort til at fungere med Ubuntu 10.40 LTS Lynx... Ubuntu er fuldstændigt opdateret med software mm. via opdateringshåndteringen.
mit gigabitnetværkskort hedder: "SWEEX gigabit network card PCI LC101" og har en REALTEK RTL8169SC chip, som jeg har forsøgt at finde drivere der passer til, siden producenten ikke selv har drivere til Ubuntu. Kortet kan ses her: http://www.sweex.com/en/assortiment/internet-networking/lan-cards/LC101
og her er så den driver jeg har fundet på REALTEK's hjemmeside som skulle passe på kortet: http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=4&PFid=4&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false&Downloads=true#RTL8110S-32/RTL8110SB%28L%29/RTL8169SB%28L%29/RTL8169SC%28L%29/RTL8169 (ca. midt på siden)
Jeg er ret ny indenfor ubuntu og bruger det sådan set kun på mit mediacenter, så jeg aner ikke hvordan hulen jeg installere den driver og for kortet til at virke? - jeg har selvfølgelig læst "Readme" filen som driver mappen indeholder, men den bringer mig ikke ret meget videre. Da jeg ikke har nok viden til at forstå hvad det lige er jeg skal gøre... Så jeg håber meget på at en hjælpsom person vil dele sin ekspertise med mig, så jeg kan få løst problemet.
Så det jeg søger er altså en person som kan vejlede mig i hvordan jeg installere driveren som beskrevet i readme filen, gerne skåret ud i pap! - er i interesseret kan i godt selv få lov at installere den, over teamviewer.
Hvis i mangler info, eller hvis jeg har formuleret mig forkert, må i endelig skrive. Jeg ser frem til at få løst problemet.
Til jer der ikke ønsker at downloade driveren bare for at læse readme-en har vedhæftet den her:
<Linux device driver for Realtek Ethernet controllers>
This is the Linux device driver released for RealTek RTL8169S/8110S, RTL8169SB/8110SB, and RTL8110SC.
<Requirements>
- kernel source tree (supported Linux kernel 2.6.x/2.4.20 and latter)
- compiler/binutils for kernel compilation
<Quick install with proper kernel settings>
Check whether the built-in driver, r8169.ko(or r8169.o for linux kernel 2.4.x), is installed.
# lsmod | grep r8169
If it is installed, please remove it.
# rmmod r8169
note: If the built-in driver cannot removed by rmmod, please edit /etc/modprobe.conf and comment 'alias eth0 r8169'. Then, remove it again or reboot your computer.
Unpack the tarball :
# tar vjxf r8169-6.aaa.bb.tar.bz2
Change to the directory:
# cd r8169-6.aaa.bb
If you are running the target kernel, then you should be able to do :
# make clean modules (as root or with sudo)
# make install
# depmod -a
# modprobe r8169
You can check whether the driver is loaded by using following commands.
# lsmod | grep r8169
# ifconfig -a
If there is a device name, ethX, shown on the monitor, the linux
driver is loaded. Then, you can use the following command to activate
the ethX.
# ifconfig ethX up
, where X=0,1,2,...
<Set the network related information>
1. Set manually
a. Set the IP address of your machine.
# ifconfig ethX "the IP address of your machine"
b. Set the IP address of DNS.
Insert the following configuration in /etc/resolv.conf.
nameserver "the IP address of DNS"
c. Set the IP address of gateway.
# route add default gw "the IP address of gateway"
2. Set by doing configurations in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts
/ifcfg-ethX for Redhat and Fedora, or /etc/sysconfig/network
/ifcfg-ethX for SuSE. There are two examples to set network
configurations.
a. Fix IP address:
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=static
ONBOOT=yes
TYPE=ethernet
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
IPADDR=192.168.1.1
GATEWAY=192.168.1.254
BROADCAST=192.168.1.255
b. DHCP:
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
ONBOOT=yes
<Change the MAC address>
There are two ways to modify the MAC address of the NIC.
1. Use ifconfig:
# ifconfig ethX hw ether YY:YY:YY:YY:YY:YY
, where X is the device number assigned by Linux kernel, and
YY:YY:YY:YY:YY:YY is the MAC address assigned by the user.
2. Use ip:
# ip link set ethX address YY:YY:YY:YY:YY:YY
, where X is the device number assigned by Linux kernel, and
YY:YY:YY:YY:YY:YY is the MAC address assigned by the user.
<Force Link Status>
1. Force the link status when insert the driver.
If the user is in the path ~/r8169, the link status can be forced
to one of the 5 modes as following command.
# insmod ./src/r8169.ko speed=SPEED_MODE duplex=DUPLEX_MODE autoneg=NWAY_OPTION
, where
SPEED_MODE = 1000 for 1000Mbps
= 100 for 100Mbps
= 10 for 10Mbps
DUPLEX_MODE = 0 for half-duplex
= 1 for full-duplex
NWAY_OPTION = 0 for auto-negotiation off (true force)
= 1 for auto-negotiation on (nway force)
For example:
# insmod ./src/r8169.ko speed=100 duplex=0 autoneg=0
will force PHY to operate in 100Mpbs Half-duplex(nway force).
2. Force the link status by using ethtool.
a. Insert the driver first.
b. Make sure that ethtool exists in /sbin.
c. Force the link status as the following command.
# ethtool -s ethX speed SPEED_MODE duplex DUPLEX_MODE autoneg NWAY_OPTION
, where
SPEED_MODE = 1000 for 1000Mbps
= 100 for 100Mbps
= 10 for 10Mbps
DUPLEX_MODE = half for half-duplex
= full for full-duplex
NWAY_OPTION = off for auto-negotiation off (true force)
= on for auto-negotiation on (nway force)
For example:
# ethtool -s eth0 speed 100 duplex full autoneg on
will force PHY to operate in 100Mpbs Full-duplex(nway force).
<Jumbo Frame>
Transmitting Jumbo Frames, whose packet size is bigger than 1500 bytes, please change mtu by the following command.
# ifconfig ethX mtu MTU
, where X=0,1,2,..., and MTU is configured by user. RTL8110S/SB/SC supports Jumbo Frame size (MTU) up to 7 kBytes.
For example, to configure jumbo frame as 7 kBytes, use the following command:
# ethtool eth0 mtu 7168
If there is another computer inatalled RTL8169S/SB/SC and its jumbo size is also configured to be 7 kBytes, the Linux can ping it by using following command.
# ping IP_ADDRESS -s 7126 -M do
På forhånd tak
Mvh.
