Lenovo X201, ethernet Intel 82577LM, no network

This is the same notebook discussed in
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=98993
It loads the module e1000e. I have arch installed. It loads the module
e1000e and ifconfig reacts. It won't register the ip-address assigned
through dhcp.

I downloaded the package (the *.xz file) from the repo, for example http://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/i686/dhclient/ (watch the "Package Actions" box top right), transferred it through USB memory stick to the laptop then "pacman -U ...*.xz".
- Comment out all the four lines: eth0, INTERFACES, gateway and ROUTES in /etc/rc.conf
- kill dhcpcd (dhcpcd -k eth0) or reboot
- do "dhclient eth0".

  • Lenovo X201 and Intel Core i7 820QM ??

    Hello
    Has anybody tried to run X201 with i7 processor from W510? Will it work in practice?
    Thanks in advance for your suggestions

    the X201 uses a BGA CPU package, so they are soldered to the motherboard, and is essentially not upgradeable by end users.
    Also, an Quad core Arrandale wouldn't work, since it lacks an integrated GPU. The X201 does not come with discrete GPU like the W510.

  • [SOLVED] Configuring Network (Intel 82577LM not recognized by udev)

    I was attempting to install an Arch system on my X201i notebook a couple months back when I ran into a wall compiling the driver/firmware for the wifi card. I then had to take care of much other life stuff and had no time to address the issue. Now I'm returning to it but have lost track of where I was so am attempting a fresh reinstall.
    This time however, I am not recalling how to set up my ethernet connection. The Beginners Guide says:
    Beginners Guide wrote:
    Available Interfaces will be presented. If an interface and HWaddr (HardWare address) is listed, then your module has already been loaded. If your interface is not listed, you may probe it from the installer, or manually do so from another virtual console.
    The following screen will prompt you to Select the interface, Probe, or Cancel. Choose the appropriate interface and continue.
    I have no interface except lo. The curses installer does not give an option to probe, but just tells me I need to load the module myself in another VT. Would it make sense to have some instructions on this process here or at least a link to more information?
    The same goes for the regular guide:
    Install Guide wrote:A list of all currently available network devices is presented to you. If no ethernet device is available yet, or the one you wish to use is missing, either hit OK and go on to probe for it, or switch to another console and load the module manually. If you still can't configure your network card, make sure it's physically been properly installed, and that it is supported by the Linux kernel.
    I have an Intel Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000) PCI-Express (ethernet chip Intel 82577LM) for the adapter. This uses the included e1000e driver and I've read of other x201 with the same chip being mounted automatically in Arch, so I'm wondering why my udev is being uncooperative?

    Trying to continue on with installation, when trying to set up network (interface selection) I'm getting a failure to run dhcpcd. I tried it a few times and then rebooted and it worked once. after moving on to partition the hard drive, manually setting the mount points and labels fails to work when the script runs to write the changes to each of the partitions (each one gives an error). I had to auto-prepare the drive to get the mounting scheme to write without giving errors. Then as I moved to install packages the script failed to connect to the mirror. Now dhcpcd doesn't come up even after a reboot. It looks like the router is offereing an address, but the daemon times out without acknowledging it.
    I didn't have most of these problems the first time I set up the base system. What could cause so many aspects of the install system to fail now? Would shutting down the notebook in the middle of the install program do something to lead to these problems? If so what would I need to change to recover, redo the usb flash drive?

  • [SOLVED] Neither wired nor wireless work on new Lenovo X201.

    Hello there!
    I just received a beautiful new X201, and I've had nothing but trouble in trying to get access to the tubes.
    lspci | grep Net gives me
    Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82577LM Gigabit Network Connection (rev 06)
    Network controller: Intel Corporation Wifi Link 6000 Series (rev 35)
    After fresh install ifconfig shows only "lo" as active, and ifconfig -a shows wlan0 and wmaster0.
    I pretty much gave up on wired ethernet after thinkwiki said e1000e should work (http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Intel_Gig … CI-Express). After
    modprobe e1000e
    dmesg says everything is great, but nothing shows up when I do another ifconfig -a.
    As for my wireless card, the 82577LM, arch automagically loads iwlagn on startup. When I try
    ifconfig wlan0 up
    arch yells at me:
    SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory
    So fun! dmesg says
    iwlagn 0000:02:00.0: firmware: requesting iwlwifi-6000-2.ucode
    iwlagn 0000:02:00.0: firmware: iwlwifi-6000-2.ucode firmware file req failed: -2

    iwlagn 0000:02:00.0: firmware: iwlwifi-6000-1.ucode firmware file req failed: -2
    Fail.
    After some digging around, I found out that there's a new iwlwifi-6000-4.ucode, but I have no idea how to use it, can hardly remember where I found it, and currently haven't the strength in my Google-Fu to find its source again.
    Help? Please? I love arch. I want to use it!

    the latest install image is from August last year.  I guess it wasn't in there yet at that time.  The curse of brand new hardware.
    Here are a couple workarounds I can think of:
    - Install the current core image, put the latest firmware & driver packages on a usb stick and load the packages from there.
    - Find a USB wifi adapter with good linux support and use that for your net install and until you get the internal card working.
    Edit: after thinking about it, that driver's part of the kernel isn't it?  The new firmware may not work with the old kernel but it's probably worth a shot.

  • R61: Intel 82566MC Gigabit Network Device Cannot Start (Code 10)

    Hi
    I purchased a Western Digital 7200 rpm 320 GB hard drive (the WD3200BJKT) a few days ago to be installed in my ThinkPad R61 (model 773215A). After making a fresh install of Windows XP SP3 and all the drivers, everything seemed to work fine except for my ethernet device, which is an Intel 82566MC Gigabit Network Connection. I obtained the following error code: "This device cannot start. (Code 10)". The ethernet device only functioned once, which was right after I installed its driver after the fresh install of Windows XP. However as soon as I rebooted, I received the above mentioned error code. By the way, the device was working fine before I changed my hard drive.
    I have tried everything described in troubleshooting guides available online, including disabling and enabling the ethernet device, uninstalling and reinstalling the ethernet device and updating the drivers, but to no avail. The only way I could make it function again is by switching off my notebook, unplugging and replugging the power adapter and finally switching the notebook on again. If I were to do a restart, or switch my notebook off and on without unplugging the power adapter, the ethernet device would not function.
    I have a feeling that it might be the bios. I am currently using the latest bios (version 2.26), and I noticed that this bios was 'supposed' to fix "The "New Hardware Found" message for Intel Gigabit Ethernet may appear." Looks like some problems with the Intel Gigabit Ethernet still exist. However I have tried flashing several older versions of the bios, but the problem still persists. Appreciate any help/suggestions I could get. Thanks.

    Hello
    I bought my R61 beginning of 2008, and since then I had this problem - only with the LAN device, NOT with WLAN - 3 times. It did never have something to do with reinstalling Windows or installing a new device like a HD, it just happend, usually after configuering new network properties (with the tool Access Connections). 
    The first time when I experienced this, I tried to reinstall the NIC driver, but that didn't help.
    Every time, after 2 or 3 days, the problem simply disapeard.
    I have on the same laptop, on a second HD partition, a Debian Linux installed. This time, my NIC started its "time-out" after configuering new network properties on Linux, and it does not work anymore on neither Linux nor Windows (2 days so far).
    It's really annoying, and because it seems the OS has no influence, I think it is Lenovo's job to fix this problem.
    I belive it's - like mhafiz says - a BIOS problem, or some hardware issue, so please: Lenovo, it's your turn!
    I always bought Thinkpad Laptops until now, and I think they are in quality high above any other brand, and I really hope this will continue.
    Chris 
    PS: I hope your (and also mine, like it did before) NICs will just resume operating after a while...

  • Lenovo X201 external monitor resolution issue

    Hi,
    I'm having issues connecting my Lenovo X201 through the docking station -> display port -> Dell 3011.  The native resolution for the monitor is 2560x1600.  However, I currently can only set the resolution to 1920x1080 (ugly!) as any high resolution results in the monitor entering power save mode.
    I'm using xrandr to set the video mode in my .xinitrc (running dwm).  This creates a good Xinerama config for dwm.
    I'm currently using the line
    xrandr --output DP1 --mode 1920x1080 --above LVDS1
    to set my resolution.  When I change to --auto or --mode 2560x1600, or 1920x1200 etc I get the blank screen on the external monitor.  I'm using the xf86-video-intel-sna driver package (I tried the -uxa as well to no avail).
    Any hints?

    I was able to get it by having arandr help generate the config, here's the solution that worked for me:
    xrandr --output HDMI1 --off --output LVDS1 --auto --right-of DP1 --output DP1 --pos 0x0 --rotate normal --auto --output VGA1 --off

  • Lenovo X201 Series Tablet/Laptop

    Hi I recently bought a Lenovo X201 Series Laptop but the screen is cracked it has a touchscreen interface I would like to know can I replace the touchscreen with a 12.1inch LED or LCD Screen as I dont want to spend to much on a touch screen details of laptop is below
    Product ID: 2985DMG
    Specs:
    Corei7 CPU,500GB Hard Drive 4GB Ram 12.1inch Touch screen.

    Hi,
    there is a lot matrices are installed into x201t. Models also depend of the backlight type - LED or CCFL. I'm not sure whether any supported matrices models are compatible with your laptop. Also there are different LCD cable assembly and LCD rear cover assembly depending of the backlight type.
    To ensure what matrice you have and what's compatible check out on Lenovo' site parts list of your laptop by its [laptop] serial number. Support site doesn't answer a question by MTM only.
    I think it's impossible to fit non touch matrice into the tablet because of the different size (width). Compare the width of x201 and x201t.
    UPD
    Service parts DB says your laptop has 12.1-in. WXGA LCD panel, LED backlight (300-nit LCD), FRU 45N6092 or 45N5388.

  • Lenovo X201, Xorg, modesetting problem

    This is a new model Lenovo X201 http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Category:X201Type 3626 (Core i5).
    Did a fresh installation from 2010.05-core-i686 CD with x86_64. I had the dreaded "dark screen" problem caused by kernel mode setting switching off the backlight! I can boot only with the 'nomodeset' kernel boot parameter.
    The problem persists after 'pacman -Syu' 2.6.34-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMT Sat Jun 19 00:07:49 CEST 2010 x86_64. As a result I can't startx, the log says - using xf86-video-intel driver, no xorg.conf:
    (II) VESA: driver for VESA chipsets: vesa
    (--) using VT number 7
    (II) Primary Device is: PCI 00@00:02:0
    (WW) Falling back to old probe method for vesa
    (EE) intel(0): no kernel modesetting driver detected
    (II) UnloadModule: "intel"
    (EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration
    Fatal server error:
    no screens found
    Obviously, I have to boot without the 'nomodeset' parameter.
    How should I progress? Compiling a more recent kernel? Which version? What configuration parameters are needed?

    I have an X61T, and I had a dark screen problem for the longest time. I had to guess at when the login prompt showed up and enter my username and password 'blind'. The monitor turned off halfway through the boot sequence and turned on again after I started X. Trying to turn KMS off gave the same kind of error that you got about usable configurations. Perhaps we had the same problem? If not, maybe this will help somebody else with a dysfunctional screen.
    I fixed it by leaving vga=xxx out of the kernel line of my menu.lst and keeping KMS on (I think it's on by default in the default arch linux kernel). Yes, I compiled my own kernel with i915 and intel_agp, but that didn't fix the problem for me. Here's the relevant line:
    kernel /vmlinuz26-x61t root=/dev/sda5 ro

  • Intel i82566DC GBit network problem

    Hi to all,
    first let me say that I love ArchLinux. I switched from gentoo to Archlinux few months ago.
    Here is my problem:
    Last week I bought a new PC with an Intel DG33TL mainboard and I have a problem with the network.
    The network is an Intel® i82566DC GBit network and should work with the famous e1000 (http://sourceforge.net/projects/e1000) driver.
    I downloaded, built and installed the module, but there is a problem: the network is very very very very ... ... ... very slow.
    It takes too much to load a page. On windows it works without problem.
    What can I do to fix this problem? I googled a lot, I found something, but I didn't solve my problem.
    Many thanks to all of you, ArchLinux users!

    Hello
    I have debian testing installed, kernel 2.4.22.
    The module for networking is e1000 (gigabite ethernet).
    Should be in your standart kernel package, try "modprobe e1000" (or "insmod -f $path_to_module/e1000"  the brutal way).
    Good luck!

    My Company runs Oracle E-Business Suite version 11.5.10.2. I recently had to get a new laptop (Lenovo X201). I can log onto the Oracle Application Home Page and select a responsibility, but when I select an operation, like Invoice Inquiry in the Payables Module for instance, I get the following message, "This tab has been recovered. A problem with this web page has caused Internet Explorer to close and reopen the tab." The laptop is running the XP operating system and Internet Explorer 8.0.6001.18702. Our IT staff can't figure out the problem. They looked at all the usual cause for problems, like pop-up blockers, etc. They also spoke to Lenovo Support without finding a resolution. We experienced a similar problem with Dell laptops that they were able to resolve. Has anyone experienced this problem with a recent-vintage Lenovo computer and found a solution?

  • Built in ethernet not showing in network preferences

    A friend has been experiencing random dropouts via airport, as a workaround she has been using a direct cable to the adsl router from time to time. Now all of a sudden she cannot see the ethernet anymore.
    In network preferences ethernet is not displayed in the network status, regardless of whether a cable is inserted or not.
    About this mac lists an ethernet adaptor and ethernet is enabled in the network port configurations in the preferences.
    Dis/enabling the ethernet in network port configurations has no effect neither does repair disk permissions.
    The machine is less than a year old, fully updated and still under warranty, anything else she can try?

    did you fixed the problem?
    i am having something like you where the ethernet worked for a while and then it was greyed out... and i went as far as formating my computer and reinstalling os x... but now the computer thinnks i don't have a ethernet card...

  • Having trouble with the trackpad on my Lenovo X201

    I'm trying ot get Arch set up on my new Lenovo X201 thinkpad and I've got as far as getting X up and running.  However, I'm having some problems with the trackpad.
    First of all the mouse pointer is a little crazy, leaps all over the screen and is very difficult to control - any ideas on how to improve on that?  Also, I've tried following various wiki examples of how to get things working (in particular using the right side of the pad for vertical scrolling) and I'm not having much luck there...
    Any advice?

    Never mind - it turns out that just installing synaptics fixed everything :-)

  • Can I use wifi for internet, while ethernet only for local network?

    Hello everyone.  We have two internet connections at our office.  One is wifi only -- but fastest uploads.  The other is connected to our ethernet network (and very slow).  Really, it's not much a network -- just iMacs connected to a switcher.  When transferring files between iMacs, obviously we want to remain connected to ethernet.  But when uploading and downloading files, the wifi option is quickest (long story why -- our offices next door, can't run a physical line yet, yadda yadda).
    So we find ourselves constantly switching between the two in network preferences.  Not only is this a pain, but it doesn't allow us to upload or download directly to a drive on the network.
    Is there a way to tell the preferences to use wifi for internet, and ethernet for the local network (without internet)?
    (We have updated mountain lion on i7 imacs, and most recent airport extreme)
    Thanks!

    Your downstairs router can be installed anywhere in your home, but telephone companies or ISPs are only obligated to install their equipment just barely inside its service entrance. Usually, that location is the worst possible one for a home network, since it's in a basement or some remote corner, far from all the devices that use it.
    Your idea to install an Ethernet cable to extend its reach to a more suitable location is an excellent one and will be worth the effort or expense. If you don't want to do it yourself a qualified electrician can perform the work quickly and elegantly, and you may find the cost surprisingly affordable. Ask your friends and neighbors to recommend a reputable electrician and get a written estimate.
