Slackware Current kernel version 5.4.30 eth0 is not found
by linuxxer from LinuxQuestions.org on (#51N4X)
Slackers,
I am using Slackware64-current on my laptop.
Just now I upgrade to kernel 5.4.30.
I found that eth0 is not in /proc/net/dev.
If restart the machine and switch to 5.4.28, network card get configured.
Network card details are:
Code:description: Ethernet interface
product: RTL810xE PCI Express Fast Ethernet controller
vendor: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.
physical id: 0
bus info: pci@0000:03:00.0
logical name: eth0

resources: irq:37 ioport:2000(size=256) memory:f0b00000-f0b00fff memory:f0800000-f0803fffPlease suggest...
Thanks, in advance.
