Title: No ethernet
Post by: InHocSignoVinces on April 03, 2016, 01:54:08 AM

I'm having significant issues getting any sort of network capability working. My ethernet adapter is an Intel 82551ER, but when I run

Code: [Select]

sudo ifconfig eth0 up I get SIOCSIFFLAGS: Resource temporarily unavailable

Lots of googling found me the dmesg command, which shows the following:

Code: [Select]

e100 0000:00:0f.0 eth0: addr 0xfedc0000, irq 11, MAC addr 00:20:0b:00:f3:aa

Code: [Select]

e100 0000:00:0f.0 eth0: Failed to load firmware "e100/d102e_ucode.bin": -11
And here I've hit a dead end. Any suggestions?

If you use the "provides" function of the apps gui, you'll see that file is provided by the firmware-intel_e100 extension

Sorry but I'm not sure what you mean. Do I download this extension, then use the app gui in some capacity? I don't recall seeing a 'provides' option  :-\

You need to download and load this extension - either using the apps gui or the command line.

If you click to the side of the "search" button of the apps gui, it gives you the choice of search/provides/tags.

That's done the trick - thanks very much for your help.
