Due to the kernel bug, the kernel of version 2.6.35 cannot properly use the e1000e Nic in Fedora 14. Therefore, you must compile and install it on your own.

 

Because the kernel module is compiled by itself, kernel-devel and kernel-header are required, as well as the compilation tool gcc.

 

Because live cd is used to install the system, it is troublesome to download the required rpm package from a machine with a network, copy it, and then

 

Then install.

 

 

1. download several required software packages for the compiling environment.

You need to download the following packages one by one.

Binutils-2.20.51.0.7-5.fc14.i686.rpm

Cloog-ppl-0.15.7-2.fc14.i686.rpm

Libmpc-0.8.1-1.fc13.i686.rpm

Perl-threads-1.81-1.fc14.i686.rpm

Ppl-0.10.2-10.fc12.i686.rpm

Put all the above software packages under a directory, applicable to the root user, execute

 

# Rpm-Uvh *. rpm

 

 

2. In addition, the source code of e1000e is required.

 

: Http://xorg.freedesktop.org/archive/individual/driver/

 

I select e1000e-1.4.4.tar.gz, download it to the local directory, and then

 

# Tar zxvf e1000e-1.4.4.tar.gz

# Cd e1000e-1.4.4/src

# Make install

# Modprobe e1000e

 

 

3. configure the network and use it.

 

# Vi/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

# Enter configuration information similar to the following

 

DEVICE = eth0

BOOTPROTO = static

IPADDR = 172.20.34.135

NETMASK = 255.255.0.0

NETWORK = 172.255.0.0

BROADCAST = 172.00000000255

GATEWAY = 172.20.3.254

ONBOOT = yes

DNS1 = 192.168.2.128

SEARCH = 192.168.2.129

# DNS2 = 192.168.2.129

NAME = "Auto eth0"

 

# Ifup eth0

 

Then you can update your system through the network.

 

 

Summary: The installation of Fedora 14 through liveusb-creator encountered a difficult problem today. after the installation, the NIC will not work properly. So you need to compile it yourself.

 

During compilation, we encountered another tricky problem. The kernel-devel and kernel-header were not installed, so we downloaded them from other places and copied them from the USB flash drive. However

 

I encountered a tricky dependency. I found it in the reference link below, downloaded those things, and applied the rpm-Uvh *. rpm command to solve the problem.

 

Dependency problems. As a result, the subsequent steps are progressing smoothly ~~, I have not encountered any small error, ^ _ ^. In fact, I can choose the source code method for installation, but I think it is not clean,

 

It is not easy to manage software packages, so we insist on using rpm. The most disturbing thing about rpm is that software packages are not fully dependent. Fortunately, they can be patient.

 

Better solution. the life is tossing ~~
