Eth0 NIC Card Not Working! 3com 3c501 NIC. 3c501 device eth0 does not seem to be present. I went to linksys to download the driver but couldnt find one. # ethtool eth0 driver. Then go to the download area to retrieve the appropriate binary. '3c501 device eth0 does not seem to be present'.

This is the first time that I am using Ubuntu 14.04 alongside Windows 10 on my Lenovo Z51. My Ethernet connection is not recognized in Ubuntu, but it is connected in Windows. Wireless is working fine.

I tried adding auto eth0 and iface eth0 inet dhcp in /etc/network/interfaces using

but after this, it took very long to restart with a message on the startup screen:

Waiting for Network Configuration

and then:

Starting without full Network Configuration

As a result, I removed auto eth0 and iface eth0 inet dhcp from /etc/network/interfaces

After rebooting with the wireless switched off and the ethernet cable attached:

The driver r8169 is problematic and there are several things we might try. Let's start with the simplest first and see if we can fix it. If not, I will edit this answer to proceed to the more complex.

Please open a terminal and do:

Now check:

Does the link come back up? Note that it was previously:

r8169 0000:02:00.0 eth0: link down

I notice that you are dual-booting with Windows. This is an issue with the driver r8169 in some cases. Please see: https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Realtek_8169_driver_problem In particular:

2. You enable 'Wake-on-lan after shutdown.' in the Windows device manager. This prevents the Windows driver to disable the card. With newer Windows driver versions this option is not available anymore, instead there is an option 'Shutdown Wake On Lan'. Changing that new option from 'Enabled' to 'Disabled' cannot be confirmed to fix the issue.

Please find and reverse the setting for Wake-on-LAN in Windows. Reboot into Ubuntu and check again:

Any improvement?

If you have compiled the r8168 driver, I suggest you blacklist r8169:

Reboot. Confirm that r8168 is loaded:

CentOS 5 Networking :: Eth0 Device Not Present?

Installed Centos 5 on IBM T60P laptop. Intel 82573L Gigabit ethernet controller. Keep getting this erro message, 'e1000 device eth0 does not seem to be present, delaying initialization.'

Networking :: Device Eth0 Does Not Seem To Be Present - Delaying Initialization?

I have swapped out four known working, different bran network cards. Each one I get the same error as in the subject. If I boot to a Live CD such as CentOs 5.3 LiveCD both Nics are given an IP. This seems to only be happening with my CentOs 5.3 server install.I noticed the CentOS Live CD the Nics were reversed from eth0 to eth1 and eth1 to eth0.
At the moment as of the output of the commands, I am running two identical Nics, since the first one has always worked. I have previously used an rtl8139, 3com c3905-TX, onboard Rhine III based (now disabled) Here are steps I have done to try and figure this out:
Quote:
[root@centos ~]# lspci | grep -i eth
00:0a.0 Ethernet controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT6105/VT6106S [Rhine-III] (rev 86)
00:0e.0 Ethernet controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT6105/VT6106S [Rhine-III] (rev 86)
Quote:
[root@centos ~]# cat /var/log/dmesg | grep -i eth
eth0: VIA Rhine III at 0xee800000, 00:1b:11:bb:17:7d, IRQ 177.
eth0: MII PHY found at address 1, status 0x786d advertising 05e1 Link 45e1.
[code]....
I went through the system-config-network-tui. I copied /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 to the ifcfg-eth0 and edited for sanity. and as stated earlier, have swapped out four different nics for eth0, and booted to two different LiveCD's. Both LiveCD's work fine.

OpenSUSE Network :: Kernel Device Eth0,wlan0 Are Not Present?

I have installed Open SUSE in my DELL server which has 2 broadcom NIC cards, it showing both the NIC cards in Network configuration in YAST ,but it showing as not configured and not connected . Kernel device eth0,wlan0 are not present. In device manager also 2 Broadcom nic cards are detected.

OpenSUSE Hardware :: Realtek NIC Installation - Unable To Configure The Network Card Because Kernel Device (eth0, Wlan0) Is Not Present

Installed a TP-Link TG-3269 Gigabit card in a machine running OS 11.3 32 bit, when I go into Yast, Network Devices, Network to try configuring the card I get this errormsg: Unable to configure the network card because the kernel device (eth0, wlan0) is not present. This is mostly caused by missing firmware (for wlan devices). See dmesg output for details. Couldn't find any mention of the card in dmesg's output, (though the 8139 onboard card is in there) there is some stuff about pci host bridge but I don't know whether they would be relevant or not
The chip on the card says it's rtl8169sc but lspci lists it as being 00:07.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. Device 8369 (rev 10) Done some googling and there don't seem be any drivers for a Realtek 8639 and it returns no matches from a search on realtek's site, but there is a driver there for rtl8169sc chips, which I downloaded and installed, no errors when installing it Even after a reboot I still get the same error in Yast's Network Settings screen, lspci still lists it as 8369 and the device isn't listed at all if I run ifconfig

Ubuntu Installation :: USB Key Isn't Present (with Error: No Such Device And The Uuid) - And Hangs On A Blinking Cursor?

I just attempted to install to a USB drive, and somehow in the process, GRUB overwrote my Windows 7 bootloader on the internal disk. My work laptop is now booting into a grub recovery whenever my USB key isn't present (with error: no such device and the uuid) - and hangs on a blinking cursor whenever the key is plugged in.I'm not familiar with what my options are for grub rescue, but ls shows (hd0) (hd0,msdos2) (hd0,msdos1) (fd0)
My laptop is encrypted, so I don't have much chance of recovery unless I can get back to the windows bootloader.

Fedora Installation :: Error Message: [root@theraugafamily Network-scripts]# Ifup Eth0

I am in the process of settign up a home server under FC14. The installation recognized both NICs, one as Intel Gigabit and the other as a Realtek Semiconductor as it should be. But when trying to start eth0 (Realtek) I get the following error message:

I am quoting form the description 'Being a gully integrated card, no external plug packs are required and cabling is simplified to just an ADSL line connection. The need to purchase an extra ethernet card is also eliminated, as yjis features is build into the card. The onboard Ethernet controller (RTL8139) makes the modem appear to the OS as a standard network card. Thus the Viking can be used with almost any modern O/S without the need for special drivers. This includes Windows, Linux, Solaris, xBSD, etc..' setting ACPI=off in GRUB.conf does not fix the issue

Ubuntu Installation :: No Such Device Error Message?

I have been using my desktop as a dual boot machine for several months now. The primary hard drive with windows on it died, and since we have been using ubunto 9.10 exclusively, I just removed the dead drive, changed the jumpers on the secondary drive to primary and did a clean install on the drive which presumably formats the disk before installing. When I try to boot from the hard drive i get the following message:

OpenSUSE Network :: Eth1 Stops Accepting Connections Whenever There Is No SSH Connection Present On Eth0

I recently setup a new SUSE box for the purposes of acting as an ftp/sftp server. It's currently setup to run ProFTPD 1.3.3.rc3 and mod_sftp/0.9.7. The server has two internal network interfaces eth0 and eth1. eth0 is purely for internal use to accept ftp and ssh. eth1 is outward facing and receives connections from the WAN via SFTP over port 22. The problem I am facing is that after half hour to an hour eth1 stops accepting connections whenever there is no SSH connection present on eth0. I can't figure out why this is happening.
ProFTPD is setup as follows: SocketBindTight directive is on, default server and port are commented out.
[code]...
When the external interface is unreachable the proftpd and proftpd-sftp logs show no record of any connection attempt. I have noticed however if I leave eth0 down eth1 stays contactable without problem. Can anyone give me some pointers on what I can check to find out why this may be happening.

Slackware :: Compiling Large Slackbuilds - Error-message - Not Enough Space Left On Device

I am currently running slackware 12.2 on a 25 GB partition. I like to use slackbuilds, but when I try to compile larger tarballs (like abiword, or a patched version of Ghostscript as I did today) I receive an error-message: 'Not enough space left on device'. I think the size of the partition must be big enough (I never got this message when compiling with Linux From Scratch). I think it has something to do with the size of my /tmp directory, but I don't know how to fix this. Is there a way to solve the problem, so that I could be able to use slackbuild-scripts?

General :: Atheros Network Card Not Available - Eth0 No Such Device Exists

I have setup a dual boot machine which has OS of Windows Vista (32 Bit) / RHEL 5. The LAN Card details are - Atheros L2 Fast Ethernet 10/100 Base T - Controller. The said Network Card works fine with the ADSL Connection in Windows OS, but does not seem to initialise in Linux. When I run 'ifconfig' in terminal window it gives away the prompt - 'eth0 no such device exists'.Although it shoes the loopback adapter (lo) device working fine. I forgot to mention over here, I have just started with Linux. So, I request 'the' Linux Gurus to help me out with this one.

Ubuntu Servers :: LVM - RAID Device Not Present On Restart

I've decided to toy around with LVM and mdadm this weekend. I can get everything working, and all is well, until I restart. After that, I no longer have any /dev/md0 device, which during the auto mount process, causes an error. I've looked through several HOWTOs, as well as the LVM/mdadm man pages, and I believe I've tracked it down to mdadm's 'assemble' that is needed (so that LVM can see the md0 device).
Not exactly sure how to go about having this occur during the boot process to ensure that the LVM mapped drive is available for when fstab is read. In case it helps this is a base install of 10.10 server 64. I have four drives, the first is used for the OS and is not in the RAID array (nor LVM). The second and third are RAID1 (/dev/md0) and there is a volume group associated with /dev/md0. The last is a LVM, but not RAID, and it has its own volume group.

CentOS 5 :: Forcedeth Device Eth1 Not Present - Delaying Initialization

I'm running CentOS 5.2 on an ASUS M2NPV-VM motherboard. This motherboard includes an NVIDIA nForce 430 built-in Gigabit MAC (network interface). I've also installed a second PCI network interface card (NC100 Network Everywhere Fast Ethernet 10/100). The PCI-based card was configured as eth0, while the built-in NIC was configured as eth1. The machine is used as my firewall/router, so eth0 is my internal interface, while eth1 is my external interface. I've had some intermittent problems with the built-in (eth1) NIC. When booting the machine and it attempts to bring up the interface, I get the following message: forcedeth device eth1 does not seem to be present, delaying initialization From that time forward, there is no eth1, and so no external network, etc. If I try running /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup eth1 (from that directory), it results in the same error.
Originally, I was getting this error when installing the operating system on the machine. At that time, I was using a 75' ethernet cable (as I was working on the machine in my office, and the external ethernet jack was in another part of the house). As soon as I moved the machine to its permanent location (which is within 2 feet of the ethernet jack), the problem went away. However, I just updated the kernel (via yum) from 2.6.18-92.1.22.el5 to 2.6.18-128.1.6.el5, and now it fails 9 out of 10 times. I'm not even sure what I can do to debug this. I'm assuming there is some kind of timing problem with the initialization. Is there a configuration parameter I can set to allow more time for the initialization to do what it needs to do, to prevent this error?

Networking :: Unable To Configure The Network Card Because The Kernel Device Is Not Present

I have installed Linux SuSE 10.3 on a PC (Lenovo Thinkstation A58). However, when I start the computer I get the following error message:
'No valid Host_ID or host-name found.'
I then use YaST to set up the network. I get the following error message:
'Unable to configure the network card because the kernel device is not present.'
The computer has Windows 7 installed and everything seems to work fine. The LED on the Ethernetplug is blinking when using Windows, but not when using Linux. I guess this means that there is no driver for the Ethernet card (Marvell Yukon 88E8057). I have not found any driver for the card and am considering buying a new one. Which PCI card works with SuSE Linux 10.3?

CentOS 5 Networking :: Bcm43xx Device Eth1 Does Not Seem To Be Present - Delaying Initialization

Ethernet card works, but Wireless card activation fails at bootup time. It also fails if I try it again from the Network Configuration UI.

output of lspci is:
Last two lines show the that Wireless card BCM4312 is visible.

Networking :: Assigning Eth0 Value To Device

I have to do a project on network security.For that i have to capture the packets from the device. I installed libpcap tool in ubuntu. If I give ifconfig -a it lists out eth0, wlan0, lo. I am able to connect to the internet via eth0. But when I give
#include <stdio.h>
#include <pcap.h>
int main()

It says device is null. I'm not able to run sniffex.c program also. All I want to do is to capture the live network level packets and analyse them.
