milmacman Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 After trying both iATKOS and a fresh kalyway disc (both installing on a much-enlarged OS X partition)--I'm really at a loss as to what to do. Not sure what to do here--the Network pane in System Preferences recognizes the ethernet (and MAC address), but if I go into the Terminal and run ifconfig en0, it says that the interface doesn't exist. How do I go about adding this device such that OS X recognizes the device and I can thus connect to the Internet? Everything else works just fine--it's just the blasted Internet. My ethernet card is an Intel 82801G (ICH7) LAN adapter (included with Intel 945G chipset on an Asus Leonite mobo)--didn't see anything out on the Web, other than that Tiger 10.4.8 supports it. Do I need additional drivers--or how can I get the terminal to recognize and activate the interface Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/83031-internet-en0-doesnt-exist-leopard/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kay T Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 try to list all the interfaces by typing in terminal sudo -s enter_your_password_if_any ifconfig maybe you have en1, not en0 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/83031-internet-en0-doesnt-exist-leopard/#findComment-589466 Share on other sites More sharing options...
milmacman Posted January 22, 2008 Author Share Posted January 22, 2008 try to list all the interfaces by typing in terminal sudo -s enter_your_password_if_any ifconfig maybe you have en1, not en0 OK, I have: gif0 lo0 str0 fw0 {edit--four interfaces) I'm guessing gif0 and str0 are default psuedo-devices, the other two are the loopback and a FireWire. en1 doesn't show, probably because I have no wifi card installed here--it's a hard-wired desktop workstation. These four are also found on the Macs at school, so I'm also guessing those four are put in by virtue of installing OS X. I know it's an OS X problem because I have ethernet running on a separate 20GiB Linux partition.
