I can not establish internet connection on Haiku.It is kernel driver /dev/net/rtl8169/0 .I tried DHCP and static with no joy.can somebody help me to resolve this one?
I am using the 8139 ( best one for Beos and Zeta) with the latest firmware. Didn’t have to do a thing , installed automatically!
Good for you,but that doesn´t solve my problem.I have http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/Motherboard/Products_Overview.aspx?ProductID=2926 motherboard.Does this help in any way?Right now I run Haiku from Virtual box but I will like to solve this to run it from hard drive.
I had a motherboard with rtl8169 and networking worked. This was about 2 to 3 years back though but it should still work.
If you’re running in VMDK you should search for information to get networking going in it. Search the site & you’ll find helpful info.
If you install Haiku to hard drive & run it natively & rtl8169 does not work then you should file a bug ticket with your output from “listdev” command.

You likely don’t have networking done right under Virtual Box.
I have no problems running Haiku from Vbox.Problem is how to establish internet connection when Haiku is installed on hard drive.I´m glad that is seams to work,so I will file a bug ticket to see if that is right way to sort it.If someone get idea how to fix this don´t be ashamed to say it.
Search & check out the other rtl8169 tickets. There are open ones, for instance,
http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/4550
http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/2801
Maybe others. I only looked quickly. Add to these if your issue is similar, otherwise create new ticket.
From memory, I used to run with static ip ( believe dhcp gave issues for me ) on 100 mbit router.
I tried static too with no result.I used same address,DNS… as I do in Ubuntu.It look I will have to file a bug ticket.
I tried to file bug but I have to login and I get info that username & password are invalid.How can it be?I tried to reset password but with no luck.What is going on?
Check your spam for the authentication email from Trac.
I know this is away from my original question,but I can write here.That means I˙m registered and I have account,right?Why I can not use same account when I try to file a bug?No,message is not in the spam folder,because when I try to reset password I don´t get any e-mail.Instead of that window pop up with the message that no username and e-mail address is attached to any account or something similar.Do I need to have separate account If I want to file bug?
Trac and the haiku website have two independent account mechanisms; this was once not true.

After reading this: http://dev.haiku-os.org/wiki/AccountVerificationEmail (just in case)
Go here: http://dev.haiku-os.org/newticket , you will need to login.
Enter a Summary, Description and change the Component to drivers > network.
Hope this helps,

Thank you.Now it is solved (login).But feel free to laugh,because I hit the wall again.Now when I have account I don´t know how to use it.In short I don´t know how to add comment to ticket or open new one.More I read less I understand.Is this to big for me or I´m just new.I don´t know any more.
@ richienyhus
Thank you!Everything works as it should.It must be hard to talk with such a noob like myself,but one last question about this.I want to attach text files in ticket(listdev,ifconfig) for better understanding and possible help.I just don’t know how to do it.I looked but I didn’t find a way.Sorry for my ignorance and thanks one more time.
There’s a checkbox like “I have files to attach to the ticket” below the summary textbox. Mark it before submitting the ticket and you’ll be directed to a page where you can upload files.
Sorry for late response.I was busy with other things.I searched little and I found http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/1853.I would like to know if that patch is included in r1alpha1 release.
1.if it is not how to apply it
2.if it is I will file ticket because it doesn´t work for me.
Thanks for your time and patience.
zvacet if you file a bug report and I am guessing it was bug 4571 I have added my own bug to yours.
You motherbaord has a realtek 8111c for the Lan chip. Mine has a realtek 8111b chip for it’s Lan. Thinking that revisions of the chip might be a problem for the Haiku driver.
Have our fingers crossed for both of us

Thanks to tonestone57 I have it working now I change 2 things at once in bios and when I booted Haiku it worked
For others with gigabyte GA-P35-DS3/S3 mother board 2 things I did was select the option in the bios for “Smart Lan” and place “boot on lan” as the third boot device. don’t know why that would cause it to work after checking my manual again or placing lan as a boot option even after the hard drive
zvzcet try doing “Smart Lan” (downloaded your motherboard manual) option under your bios
and the placing boot lan as one of your boot options.
Great to hear you got it working. You’re lucky that other person posted a similar issue with solution.
I wouldn’t have thought of it myself because very weird that it only works this way - must set the hardware up a different way and so it works. Go figure.
