at the boot message of de2 i can see :

<dm9ks> i/o: 80900090, vid: 90000a46,

but if i do an ifconfig i just have the localhost,

no eth0 or something like that. http://forum.niosforum.com/work2/style_emoticons/<#emo_dir#>/blink.gif

why ???

You need to bring up eth0 first, before you can use ifconfig to list eth devs.

Either,

ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.10 # static ip

route add default gw 192.168.1.254 # gateway

Or, use dhcp client

ifconfig eth0 up

dhcpcd &

About the kernel config problem, which version of uClinux-dist and nios2 patches do you use?

You should disable SMC91 chip and select DM9000A with checksum offloading.

Check if you have this file, linux-2.6.x/drivers/net/dm9ks.c .
