uClinux Ethenet on DE2-115

Hi guys,

I am using the quartus example project DE2_115_WEB_SERVER_RGMII_ENET0 and it programs into the board and i can see the two LEDs light up on the board(DUP and 1000), i can also boot up uClinux to this which all works well.

The board uses marvel 88e1111 chip which i enabled drivers for in the make menuconfig and also checked the altera triple speed ethernet(SLS), I am using kernel 2.6.30

This seems to find the PHY fine..console output below

found PHY with id 0x1410cc2 at address 0x10

altera TSE MII bus: MDIO bus registered

Altera triple speed MAC IP driver(v8.0) developed by SLS, August 2008, --linux 2.6.27-rc3

When the kernel boots up and i try to do ifconfig i get the following error.

error: no inet socket available: address family not supported by protocol.

Any help greatly appreciated.
