Networkcard found, but not installed = no LAN/Inet = no make-cmd ...
by Superblond from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5BCGH)
Hello everyone, 1st I like to apologize for my poor english and 2nd I like to ask you for your help!
For the first time I am trying to install a Linux (Debian) on my computer.
1) I choosed a DVD full-install, because I thought, there are surely all driver/firmwares needed ("firmware-10.6.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso") in that package.
2) During the installation the two onboard network cards (Realtek RTL8110SC - PCI Gigabit Ethernet controller) of my Abit IP-35 pro mobo were found.
3) But no DHCP auto. or manual configuration leads into a connection.
4) After the basic installation and login I cant install firmware for the network cards because:
a) a found only a makefile-tar ("realtek8168-8.046.00.tar" and "r8169-6.028.02") to use.
b) but the make-cmd is missing in my install
c) because of that I cant install the firmware for the network card(s)
d) I don't have internet access to install updates, upgrades or packages.
e) there is no "compiled" firmware as *.deb for a RTL8110SC for a new installation...
After hours I am incredibly frustrated and sad that my first Debian adventure had to end like this :-/
btw. when I tried this axact Debian version in a VirtBox on W10 everthing worked perfectly.
I asking for help!
Thx a lot
