------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-01-12 00:12 ------- this seems to be the same problem I reported on Cooker. I hope it came through (did'nt show up in the archive, sent jan 2). A reminder : When I updated my kernel to the 2.4.20-2mdk version, my network did'nt work anymore. It could'nt get a dhcp ip adres, nor can I ping to other computers if I set a manual adres. I have a ISA 3Com Etherlink III 3C509B which works fine in Knoppix 3.1 with 2.4.20 kernel (same 3c5x9 driver of 16Oct2002). On another computer whith +- same configuration & 2.4.20-2mdk kernel there is no problem (other nic). some information : when booted with 2.4.20-2mdk kernel : dmesg output (apart from the version, this is the same as in 2.4.19) eth0: 3c5x9 at 0x210, 10baseT port, address 00 60 97 bd 22 52, IRQ 10. 3c509.c:1.19 16Oct2002 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.scyld.com/network/3c509.html eth0: Setting 3c5x9/3c5x9B half-duplex mode if_port: 0, sw_info: 3f21 eth0: Setting Rx mode to 1 addresses. /sbin/ifup eth0 Determining IP information for eth0... failed. ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:60:97:BD:22:52 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:7 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:2394 (2.3 Kb) Interrupt:10 Base address:0x210 system = Mdk 9 based, Asus P5A mb net-tools-1.60-5mdk iptables-1.2.7a-1mdk initscripts-6.91-18mdk iputils-20020927-1mdk iproute2-2.4.7-7mdk dhcp-common-3.0-1rc10.3mdk dhcpcd-1.3.22pl3-1mdk dhcp-client-3.0-1rc10.3mdk grtz, Dominique De Munck ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] description: I installed Manrake 9.1 beta 1 and during installation I selected to configure network. It detected my card (3Com 3C905B) and I selected to use DHCP to configure IP address. But after I restarted the computer I got an error that eth0 was unable to start. It suggested to check cable. I have Windows XP pro on the same machine and it is also set to use DHCP and to automatically negotitate mode and speed. My network card is connected to LevelOne FBR-1403TX router and in Windows XP Pro the NIC is correctly set to full duplex mode and 100 mbit speed. All works fine in Windows. So I think there is nothing wrong with cabling or something. It looks like Mandrake Connection wizzard doesn't set the network card up correctly. I also tried to configure the network after the installation from Mandrake Control Center and eth0 still can't start up. I searched all around to find the place where I could manualy set duplex mode and line speed or enable auto negotiation but I was unable to find this.
