How to install intelD945GCLF Nic In Ubuntu8.10

IntelD945GCLF atom motherboard, in the following configuration: CPU: atom2301.6GHz hard drive: Seagate500G memory: kingstonddr2800mhz2 G sound card: onboard NIC: onboard RealTekR8102EL10/100MEthernet power supply: the typical power consumption test outlet of the buffalo mini chassis is 40 W. This motherboard is installed with Ubunt

The atom motherboard of Intel D945GCLF is configured as follows:

CPU: atom 230 1.6 GHz

Hard Disk: Seagate 500 GB

Memory: Kingston DDR2 800 MHz 2G

Sound Card: onboard

NIC: onboard RealTek R8102EL 10/100 M Ethernet

Power Supply: Power Supply for Buffalo mini Chassis

The typical value of the test outlet using Wanfang power consumption is 40 W.

After the operating system of Ubuntu 8.10 desktop or server is installed on the motherboard, the on-board Nic may be unable to connect to the network after the system is started on. Run the ifconfig command to view the problem, eth0 is displayed normally, but its dropped parameter is a huge number. Run the dmesg command to check whether the driver used is r8169. If an incorrect driver is used, the system network becomes unavailable after the cold start. To solve this problem, we need to do the following:

1. Go to realtek official website http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx? Langid = 1 & PNid = 14 & PFid = 7 & Level = 5 & Conn = 4 & DownTypeID = 3 & GetDown = false download the latest R8102EL driver. The current driver version of www.britepic.org is: r8101-1.010.00

2. For the server version, the kernel header file is not installed when the system is installed. Therefore, you need to download and install the necessary software such as the compiler required for the Compilation Program:

Sudo apt-get install build-essential

Then install the system kernel header file. Otherwise, the downloaded driver cannot be compiled:

Sudo apt-get install linux-headers-'uname-R'

3. Unzip the downloaded driver to the directory and run the command: make all

Under normal circumstances, there will be errors. However, as long as you can see that the r8101.ko file has been compiled under src/, no matter whether there is an error or not.

4. Detach the current NIC Driver from the kernel and run the command

Sudo rmmod r8169

5. delete or rename the r8169 driver from the System Library:

Sudo mv/lib/modules/'uname-R'/kernel/drivers/net/r8169.ko r8169.ko. old
