[SOLVED]Installed Centos 7 on lenovo q150, cannot connect to the internet

Post by orlacrab » 2017/06/13 02:46:02

Hello everyone,
I am completely new to Linux
I have installed Centos 7 on my Lenovo q150, but it cannot connect to the internet

this is the result of /sbin/lspci -m | grep net
01:08.0 "Ethernet controller" "Intel Corporation" "82552 10/100 Network Connection" -r02 "Lenovo" "Device 3605"

this is the result of /sbin/lspci -n | grep "$(/sbin/lspci | awk '/net/ { print $1 }')"
01:08.0 0200: 8086:10fe (rev02)

yes, I have tried brutally switching it off (pull out the power cord) twice, it didn't work
and I went to that ELRepo page to look for the code 8086:10fe, I didn't find anything
Went into bios, reset the bios, switching the plug-and-play os option, didn't work either

one more thing, I would like to know how to enable wireless internet as well

Please help, thank you very much

You need kmod-e100 from ELRepo for your 100Mbps ethernet card
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.
Info for USB installs on http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/InstallFromUSBkey
CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.

Thank you very much for your reply
I have located kmod-e100 on ELrepo under this link

http://elrepo.org/linux/elrepo/el7/x86_64/RPMS/

As I cannot access internet, I thought I would download the right rpm and transfer it via a USB drive

kmod-e100-3.5.24-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64.rpm 05-Aug-2014 19:11 34K

I suppose it is the correct one, right?

Thanks very much

If you're running CentOS 7 then that looks like the correct one to me
