Ethernet card doesn't show up
infinite_recursion - almost 4 years ago -
I think some modules need to be loaded through modprobe. Please help. My ethernet card worked in hyperbola so the problem isn't in the card.
I use Realtek Semiconductor RTL810xE PCI Express controller
Stack post:
I recently installed both Hyperbola and Arch and became thorough with installation process. Didn't like them. Installed parabola linux.
When I finally boot into my fresh install,
ip link
doesn't return my ethernet card. I want to connect it to internet and update it.
lspci -v
shows realtek card kernel module not loaded. It is r8169 (or some number)
modprobe r8169
gives module not in kernel error. Please help.
Edit 1: lsmod shows
Module Size UsedBy
xhci_pci 20480 0
ehci_pci 20480 0
I loaded RTL818x_pci yet the card didn't show up.
has aer, dpc, pcie_pme, pciehp
I can execute 'modprobe pciehp'. Others show module not found in kernel directory.

/me is confused why you installed the hyperbola kernel on a
parabola system

I have installed parabola kernel. I was just ruling out the case that ethernet card requires proprietary software.
It used to work on hyperbola kernel.

The same thing happened to me after a fresh install. As someone pointed out on Reddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/Parabola/comments/fad053/noobie_moment_people/fj0iy4h), installing the udev-init-scripts package fixed the issue.
That package was already installed on my other Parabola computers, so I suppose it used to get installed automatically but doesn't anymore.

yea we have discussed that - a lot changed when the new 'base'
meta-package was intriduced - i think we need to make udev-init-scripts
a mandatory part of 'base'
