no network when booting into knoppix
Hi,
I am trying to setup knoppix because i want to switch from gentoo to debian.
But I can not make the network work. I have a MSI Laptop (Core2Duo) with this ethernet card:
02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 01)
Subsystem: Micro-Star International Co., Ltd. Unknown device 0341
Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 17
I/O ports at d800 [size=256]
Memory at fe1ff000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4K]
Expansion ROM at fe1e0000 [disabled] [size=64K]
Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 2
Capabilities: [48] Vital Product Data <?>
Capabilities: [50] Message Signalled Interrupts: Mask- 64bit+ Queue=0/1 Enable-
Capabilities: [60] Express Endpoint, MSI 00
Capabilities: [84] Vendor Specific Information <?>
Kernel driver in use: r8169
Kernel modules: r8169
When knoppix is up and I try a to use the dhcp client (dhcp3 or so) I get a message that I have to configure a subnet in my dhcp server config. ????
So what to do? Any ideas.
When I installed gentoo I had problems with the nic too. I had to compile the kernel again, the the module r8169 work. But I do not have this chance on knoppix, isn't it?

If your laptop also has firewire then the firewire port may be recognised as eth0 and your realtek as eth1.
Try
dmesg | grep eth
see if knoppix has detected your card as eth1, if yes click the fat penguin, and go to network configuration
and set your network up.
You can also run
sudo netcardconfig
from a terminal

I have a same problem
Hi,menschmeier
I have a same problem just like you.
My computer's netcard is Realtek RTL8101 Family PCI-E Ethernet Nic(NDIS6.0).
The manufactory told me i have to reinstall the drivers software. They gave me a download address. Hope it helpful.

CAUTION!
Above we have a brand new user posting URLs supposedly for downloading a driver that contain IP addresses rather than domain names to be looked up through a DNS server. The IPs themselves are in China. Not very common for downloading drivers, and I would advise anyone following the links to be very careful about it and do it in a very secure way (such as with Knoppix running in a virtual machine that can later be safely discarded). Check that driver closely before installing, and see if you can find a matching copy on a safer site. If anyone does follow these links please report back here on the experience. This might be a completely legitimate set of posts, but if your system is destroyed, has private data stolen, or becomes part of a bot-net because you visited an unsafe and suspicious link, well, don't say that you were not warned.

Realtek Gigabit Pci-Express RTL8168B
I have done a Poor Man Install of Knoppix 5.3.1 on my Asus laptop A6TC.
It has a network card RTL8168B Gigabit PCI-Express.
The r8169 shipped module does not work with my card.
I have downloaded the r8168 module for kernel 2.6.x from Realtek site and followed the readme instructions.
I got the following compile error:

I don't know what to do. I think the DVD has all programs/libraries to compile.
Perhaps report this as a bug.
Plese help me.

I am trying to setup knoppix because i want to switch from gentoo to debian.
I hate to suggest this on a Knoppix forum, but grml is another Debian-based live CD distro, and I've had great success with it. I've used it to install Debian on my laptop, and all I have to do to keep it current is to type "apt-get update" and "apt-get upgrade" on occasion.

No problem suggesting alternatives here that work when Knoppix doesn't. Knoppix has always been pretty mediocre when it comes to wireless support, and IMHO has gone way down hill after version 4.02. I find that Puppy and Mandriva1 support several wifi cards that I have that Knoppix either doesn't recognize or seems to recognize but doesn't get them working. Glad to hear of another alternative, I had not seen this one mentioned in these forums before.
I've just downloaded it, burning the disc now. I was surprised how fast the torrent download was, 15 minutes on my modest DSL line. But you might save some people some effort when telling them about grml by mentioning that (as far as I can tell from the website and not having booted the CD yet), it's aimed at shell users and omits some things like KDE (and, of course, Open Office). So it might not be right for most users.
