No ethernet connection with last rolling ISOs

Hello,

Doing some tests on my work computer (Fujitsu S752), I noticed that the ethernet connection doesn't work with ISOs

- core and 4in1 20150706

- core and 4in1 20150712

- core and 4in1 20150719

but OK with core64

Last ISOs that worked were these of 20150705.

But all these ISOs work on my old Acer.

Need hardware informations ?

EDIT: e1000e is not loaded at boot with 4in1 and core32

4in1-core32 :

[c]Detecting PCI devices Kernel modules...

* Builtin module : ahci

* Builtin module : ehci_hcd

* Builtin module : pcieport

[/c]

core64 :

[c]Detecting PCI devices Kernel modules...

* Builtin module : ahci

* Builtin module : e1000e

* Builtin module : ehci_hcd

* Builtin module : pcieport

[/c]

Re: No ethernet connection with last rolling ISOs

Check dmesg for errors loading e1000e on 4in1-core32 right after booting.

Does the network work if you manually modprobe e1000e,configure/restart network.sh ?

The linux tazpkg that owns e1000e has not been rebuilt since march.

No errors on 4in1-core32 iso build log: http://cook.slitaz.org/cookiso.cgi?distro=rolling-core-4in1

Re: No ethernet connection with last rolling ISOs

Hello,

According hg wok and between 20150705 and 20150706 you can undo network stuff with the following:

1- remove /bin/ip

2- install http://hg.slitaz.org/slitaz-boot-scripts/raw-file/a8aa6b77a7ed/etc/init.d/network.sh

3- install http://hg.slitaz.org/slitaz-boot-scripts/raw-file/a8aa6b77a7ed/etc/init.d/wpa_action.sh

4- /etc/init.d/network.sh stop ; /etc/init.d/network start

Can you test it ?

Re: No ethernet connection with last rolling ISOs

Hello,

@mojo,

sorry, I've made a mistake: e1000e is builtin the kernel in core64 but built as module in 4in1/core. e1000e was correctly loaded at boot:

nothing about e1000e in dmesg.log

I tried

[c]modprobe -r e1000e

/etc/init.d/network.sh stop

modprobe e1000e

/etc/init.d/network.sh start[/c]

same

I noticed differences in boot.log:

Re: No ethernet connection with last rolling ISOs

Really strange,

With last ISOs 4in1/core 20150802, sometimes network starts and sometimes it doesn't.

When it doesn't, I just need to type

[c]/etc/init.d/network.sh restart[/c]

and it starts.

Maybe it was already the case last week with previous ISOs but I didn't boot them so often I did it with the new ones.
