LAN drivers issue

[Lsantiesteban.cuba]

Hi everyone.

 

First time posting here. I’m having an issue with an old APU board that I want to use as a media server or a plex server just for the sake of bringing new life to it. I’m using Openmediavault as OS, a Debian 7 based distro and it’s not recognizing the Ethernet on the board. I’ve tried many other distros just to be sure it was not an issue with the one I’m using and nothing either.

 

I’m in Cuba and my internet access it’s 0 on that computer and even when I can get my hands on local mirrors of the repos I can’t get my hand on the proper drivers.

The board it’s the ASROCK AD525PV3.

can anyone help my getting the right drivers, please?

 

thanks in advance.

Then I'm afraid there's no solution other than adding a compatible ethernet or wifi adapter.

There’s no intel drivers for Linux?

if I could get them on my phone and can use a usb drive to get them on that computer and dpkg it. Wouldn’t that work?

You said you couldn't get the drivers through the internet... if you can do that then you can try usb tethering to use your phone's internet connection on the computer and install the driver from there. I would discourage downloading packages separately because you could run into dependency issues.

Good to know!

i can tether from my iPhone, on Debian 7 there’s no ifconfig command. How can I check I’m tethered?

well you could just try pinging google's dns server

ping 8.8.8.8

or check your ip address with

ip addr

Thanks a lot @Sauron

I’ll give it a try this afternoon.

The atheros AR81 driver has been baked into the kernel for awhile now and should be supported.

 

Whats the output of

lspci | egrep -i --color 'network|ethernet'

No output whatsoever.

It’s not recognizing the tethered network interface. My phone it’s connected to the internet and connected to the computer as it shows it’s charging but doesn’t show any device connected to the tethered via usb.

So rereading your posts I noticed you have an iphone... which as far as I know means you need itunes installed for usb tethering to work. Do you have a USB wifi dongle? If you do try using that to connect to your phone's wireless hotspot

I can try a WiFi dongle and see if the OS recognizes it. Now I would need help connecting to the WiFi hotspot trough terminal. Do you know how to do so?

...doesn't openmediavault have a GUI? You can try iw or networkmanager but I don't know if those instructions apply exactly to omv.

It does not have a regular GUI rather it has a web interface but it’s ok I founded a dongly solution worthy of Apple

I used a Ethernet 100 usb dongle To connect to the thunderbolt ethernet dongle on my MBp witch is connected with my iPhone tethered internet. Adjusted ip addresses here and there and now I have internet on the OMV now.

 

ill apt get update and then how do I install the drivers?

sadly OMV is not a desktop OS, interfering with it configuring the net interfaces could cause issues

 

USB tethering anyway needs the usbnet kernel module to be avaiable, then it should show up as an interface

type ifconfig -a

if you can obtain an address with dhcp ethX or with dhcpd ethX, you are good to go and you have an internet connection

 

as for the lan driver, just type lspci -v as root so I can understand what kind of chipset it is

Thanks, I’ll lspci -v and show you.

as for the internet I managed to get it working sharing from my phone to my laptop via WiFi and then to the computer trough Ethernet.

This is the output for lspci -v
