Network Interface Issue
Network Interface Issue
Hello,
Im a newbie and I have installed CentOS 7 Minimal x86_64.
The issue that I have is that I am unable to connect to the network.
I have checked /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts and I am unable to find any network interfaces.
I have also checked for any ethernet card cards using nmcli d but none appear.
I have ran CentOS 6 and configured the network and all was running fine. As CentOS 6 is to be depreciated next year I would like to use 7.
Any help or advise on this would be strongly appreciated.

Post the output from lspci -nn | grep -i net
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

Re: Network Interface Issue
That chipset is not supported by CentOS 7 out of the box - it was one of the 100Mbps ethernet adapters that RH deprecated when el7 first came out. You can still make it work but you'll need to google ELRepo and follow their instructions on how to install elrepo-release then you can download and install their kmod-forcedeth package. That will supply a kernel module that will work with the current 7.6 kernel series but you need to make sure that you have elrepo-release installed so that you pick up subsequent updates to it in case support breaks at the next point release.

Re: Network Interface Issue
Sorry to drag this out, I have found the ELRepo for CentOS-7: http://elrepo.org/tiki/tiki-index.php my question as the server does not have any internet connectivity would you be able to recommend how I can install this possibly from a USB.
I know that when I have that installed I can go ahead and run yum http://lon.mirror.rackspace.com/elrepo/ ... noarch.rpm

Re: Network Interface Issue
Download https://elrepo.org/linux/elrepo/el7/x86 ... x86_64.rpm, transfer it with a USB stick, then:
Code: Select all
sudo yum install kmod-forcedeth-0.64-3.el7_5.elrepo.x86_64.rpm
Re: Network Interface Issue
Hi pjsr2
I’ve copied the rpm over to the usb.
But when I am trying to install it it’s saying that it cannot find a base url for the repo.
I have tried to cat /dev/sdb1 which is the usb stick but it’s saying it’s not a directory any help would be strongly appreciated.
Thank you

Re: Network Interface Issue
Use
yum --disablerepo=\* install /path/to/kmod-forcedeth....rpm (amend path and kmod name appropriately)
yum --disablerepo=\* install /path/to/kmod-forcedeth....rpm (amend path and kmod name appropriately)

Re: Network Interface Issue
Hello
Would I be correct in saying that the correct command is
yum --disablerepo=\* install /dev/sdb/kmod-forcedeth-0.64-3.el7_5.elrepo.x86_64.rpm
As when I do it’s says there are no enabled repos.
Thanks

Re: Network Interface Issue
No, /dev/sdb is the device it's on. You'll have to mount that to some directory first (or it might automount under /run/media somewhere). Then use the path to where it's mounted.
Edit: if your USB drive is partitioned then you might need to mount e.g /dev/sdb1 not /dev/sdb.
