I just purchased a dell latitude E6510, with a gigabit
(hardwired) ethernet. It works fine under windows.

I now have the (newest) gentoo installation disk (april) in the machine.
The device is recognized and the e1000e module is loaded.

ifconfig shows the mac address, but no IP addr.

My router (linksys with the tomato firmware) shows that same mac address
(presumably gotten when the windows machine was connected).

If I run net-setup eth0, nothing changes.

If I execute the manual
ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.80 broadcast 192.168.1.255 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
subsequent ifconfig's show this data but
ping 192.168.1.1 (the IP addr of the router) fails
However, 192.168.1.80 succeeds.

Any help would be appreciated.
thanks,
allan

I have the same machine for a while -- returning for audio issues --
and loaded grml 10.4 live cd and had no problems with the dhcp. Try
dhcpcd or pump manually -- I bet its some imcompatibility between the
software and the router.

Maybe the system don't know the router.

*route add default gw **192.168.1.1

I had tried that (the handbook suggested it). I assume you meant the

I may need it!

Thanks. I just now did and it confirms the intel gigabit controller and
(when run with -v) that the e1000e driver is being used.
But I don't see what to do next.

Encouraging.

I tried dhcpcd and it times out on
"waiting for carrier".

pump is not on the gentoo installation disk.

Thanks for the advice; I will try grml next.

This dhcp bug is a bug I have reported, bug # 284631 -- please add your
comments to this bug -- including dhcp version, router brand, etc.

Done. (I can't find the dhcp version and can't boot it now since I have
grml booted).

For grml I needed to turn off framebuffer and some acpi stuff. But it
has booted and I am starting to prepare the hard disk.

Thanks for sending me to grml.
