no network. kernel driver tg3 is needed

[gmc]

Kiosk 3.1 can’t find network (wired) on HP Thin Client t510 (http://h20195.www2.hp.com/v2/GetDocumen ... c=ca&lc=en). That’s all I can say since I haven’t access to terminal via ssh.
Original HP system uses tg3 for Netlink Broadcom BCM57780 Gigabyte Ethernet NIC.

tg3 driver is included by default in kiosk:

Code: Select all

grep tg3.ko lib/modules/3.12.20-porteus-kiosk/modules.dep
kernel/drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/tg3.ko: kernel/drivers/ptp/ptp.ko kernel/drivers/pps/pps_core.ko kernel/drivers/net/phy/libphy.ko kernel/drivers/hwmon/hwmon.ko

any chance to boot any other linux than kiosk on this PC and provide output of 'lspci -knn' command?
this way i could identify the chipset.

thanks

thank you,

please try this trick in /etc/rc.d/rc.local:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ne ... m_BCM57780

you may have to killall and start dhcpcd once eth0 becomes available or repeat manual network configuration.

Hello,
Thank you very much for this hint. I'm going to test it although there is no warranty that this method will work on my hardware. It seems to me, that tests performed by creating new Kiosk-ISO file for every single trial could be too laborious. Simpler way seems to be dynamic testing via ssh access. In this case however, first I have to buy usb-WiFi card and to install AP. Of course if it's going to work .

From the above point of view maybe it is worth to consider adding in future the option of access to local system console in Kiosk wizard. Kiosk is so "lightweight" that even many much more additions could not to change it significantly. But it could help in many cases during installation on the new or not standard hardware.

thanks

this wont be necessary as i have covered pretty much everything (VT switching included) in the Kiosk FAQ:
http://porteus-kiosk.org/faq.html

please follow it.

Hello
Thanks again. In fact, I'm sorry, I'm not too attentive reader of FAQ. I'll try to improve.
