Do you see link flapping in dmesg, something like this, continuously? ...kernel: e100 0000:00:0d.0: eth0: NIC Link is Down ...kernel: e100 0000:00:0d.0: eth0: NIC Link is Up 100 Mbps Full Duplex It's beginning to like you simply have a port that failed, and that loading the firmware blob was coincidental. Remember the old maxim: If ICs are going to fail in normal operation, they typically do so within 72 hours. Which is why custom shops for years advertised that they burn their servers in with real workloads for 72 hours (though few actually did). With the information I have so far, I'd guess the transceiver for port0 on the card failed. It's a $0.25 IC. This would tend to explain why you can't get link/duplex status. -- Stan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
