hi!
i had a non-working network interface today... any hints?
one of our servers is on 2.0.33. when i wanted to replace a 3c905tx NIC with a DE500 one, i did the folowing:
*) include the de500 driver (de4x5,...) into the kernel (no module) make dep, make clean, make zImage,... *) add "ether=0,0,eth1" to the kernel boot command line (lilo!)
and then i started the new 2.0.33-kernel.
the eth1 device was there, it was configured right, but i couldn't ping over the eth1 interface. still, no errors occured, but in /proc/net/dev the carrier column was equal to the error column... (no idea what those values mean).
then i replaced the NIC with another DE500, and the other showed the same behaviour. needless to say, both NICs work in other servers ...
kind regards, http://stud2.tuwien.ac.at/~e9525748/ Peter-Paul Witta e9525748@student.tuwien.ac.at 436765411293@max.mail.at SAMBA SUPPORT - FAX SOLUTIONS - INTRANET / EXTRANET - DBMS SQL SOLUTIONS
