Hello everybody I just have installed the base system on a computer and network is not reachable....
While I was installing the base system the install stript started to loop on "configure network". The next step was always "configure network".. So I just was choosing the next item in the list to do and after each I was getting that the default next step is "configure network". In this fashion I reached the "reboot" option and the computer booted into linux everything works accept network... The card (which is a strange one) Cabletron E21xx appears to be detected correctly (the card works form windows so I know it is not a hardware problem). ifconfig tells me that the network interface is up... route gives correct routing table but takes a long time to do that (10-20min). I noticed that ifconfig says that I have no RX packets only TX. I recompiled kernel and built the driver into the kernel (thought that the module does not work) --- the same result... Any suggestions are appreciated. (please do not offer to chagen the net-card, it is not an option at this point) Thank you very much Lazar
