I have been going around and around trying to get Ubuntu on Mustang to connect to the network, and have been unable to do so.
I have configured the system to use DHCP, but it doesn’t get an IP address assigned. I have configured the system with a static IP (the same one that I used to boot up OpenEmbedded, and to do the download and install of Ubuntu), but it is unable to see any other systems on the same subnet. I have configured the system with a peer-to-peer connection with a desktop system, assigning IP addresses 192.168.1.101 to the desktop, and 192.168.1.102 to the Mustang board, but the two systems are unable to see each other. I have verified that another computer connected to the desktop with the same cable was able to ping the desktop, and that the desktop could ping the other computer. I have also been corresponding with someone at Linaro Support, sending him log files, and he made this comment: • The kernel is definitively seeing network traffic on the card (otherwise libpcap wouldnt be able to feed the data to tcpdump) so I dont think it is a problem with the drivers or hardware. It might be a configuration option that I am not aware of. Does anyone have any clue why this system won’t connect to the network, or even acknowledge that there is a viable connection? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1433290 Title: xgene-enet: doesn't work at 100Mbit Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I hooked a mustang board up to a 100Mbit switch, and it fails to communicate. I've tried a couple switches, one a pretty common WRT54GL running Tomato firmware. The system fails to DHCP or ping if manually configured. I've verified the port/cable are ok with other devices.
