Can anyone tell me what causes the subject error? It's being generated by an older SMC Ultra network card that I'm temporarily trying to use. The card was functioning in another machine before I installed it in this one.
When I added the SMC card to the machine, it became eth0. I edited /etc/network/interfaces and made my old card (a 3Com 3C905B) eth1. (Related question: the drivers for both cards are compiled into the kernel, not modules. How can I tell the system to use the 3Com as eth0?) Both cards appear to work. The 3Com has a real-world static IP and I have network access. The SMC has an address of 192.168.1.1 (to provide NAT) and I can ping that address succesfully. I don't currently have another machine with a 192.168.1 address on the network, so I can't ping another machine to find out for sure that the packets are leaving the machine. I am getting errors on boot-up, however: Hw. address read/write mismap 2 Hw. address read/write mismap 3 Hw. address read/write mismap 4 Hw. address read/write mismap 5 Googling generated a number of hits but most of them were from people requesting assistance and none of the responses really addressed what caused the error. Thanks in advance for any assistance. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
