My system can’t connect to the network by the only on-board UTP connection available, getting the error:
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign requested address
I have already tried many things found at Google but I still disconnected!
I am using a:
-
i 7 Intel 4 core 8 tread processor
-
6GB Memory
-
GIBABYTE motherboard EX58-UD4P
-
On-board Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet
-
OpenSuse 11.1
I have tried to install the Realtek drivers r8168-8.014.00.tar.bz2 following the instructions:
# make clean modules
# make install
# depmod -a
# rmmod r8169
# modprobe r8168
another try…
# insmod ./src/r8168.ko speed=100 duplex=1 autoneg=0
# ethtool -s ethX speed 100 duplex full autoneg off
all this commands run fine, without any error but nothing happens, just the process r8168 is running but there is not eth0.
…perhaps I have tried all the tips I found about that at web… such as:
Script to Fix R8168 and R8111 in Debian/Ubuntu GNU/Linux
Now I get back, with the standard SUSE 11.1 installation with the following details:
# ifconfig eth0 up
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign requested address
# ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.2
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign requested address
# lsmod | grep r8169
