My Ethernet Is Not Listed In CentOS 8 Boot.iso

CentOS 12 Comments

Hi,

Yesterday i tried to install CentOS 8 on my little router and server, but there’s no ethernet listed there. I’m using Compaq pressario V3737TU which come with Marvell PCI-e ethernet 100Mbps. It’s an old laptop.

Could anyone here help?

  • Please can you give us the output from ‘lspci -nn’ so we can see the vendor:device ID for the ethernet controller.

    It may be that as an old device, it’s no longer supported in CentOS 8. If that’s the case, a third party repository such as elrepo.org may be able to package the driver for you.

  • Indeed, that’s a low end 12 yr old laptop, based on a core2 duo CPU, I’m amazed C8 even boots on it.

  • This list does not accept attachments. Please just post the relevant line for your ethernet device.

    Thanks

  • or if you’re not sure, paste the whole output inline in your message….

    something like….

  • Thanks, that device requires the Marvell sky2 driver which is not supported in el8.

    I have built you a driver for CentOS 8.0 and uploaded it to the elrepo repository. It should be available shortly once mirror sites have synced:

    https://elrepo.org/linux/elrepo/el8/x86_64/RPMS/kmod-sky2-1.30-1.el8_0.elrepo.x86_64.rpm

    I also note you have an old unsupported Intel wireless controller:

    07:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless
    3945ABG [Golan] Network Connection [8086:4222] (rev 02)

    which should be supported by the following driver:

    https://elrepo.org/linux/elrepo/el8/x86_64/RPMS/kmod-iwlegacy-0.0-1.el8.elrepo.x86_64.rpm

    Presumably you will need to manually download and install these drivers as you have no network connection. Once installed, you should install the elrepo repository so your drivers will get updates via yum/dnf:

    yum –enablerepo=extras install elrepo-release

  • Many thanks Phil for the helps, now i have also installed elrepo kernel-ml just in case something goes wrong again. The driver helped me.

    Yes, i forgot to mention wlan.
