Thank you, thank you! That was incredibly helpful. I always wondered how to get info out of the modem. I went to the signal page on the modem and got -9 dBmV reported Downstream Power Level. Since this is well outside the +3 to -5 dBmV range given in the report, I called ATT technical support.

Hi Folks, I've got a Sid box (kernel 2.4.8) with two Linksys Etherfast v.2 NICs which have worked flawlessly for several years now (confirmed by tulip-diag). I recently got a SB4100 cablemodem and had ATT install a line. My problem is that I'm having to reset (ifdown/ifup) the interface *often*

Has anyone else had this problem?-- I upgraded to slink and compiled kernel 2.2.3 this weekend, no problems. Then, as root--it's a standalone box--I fired up quake2. The screen went blank and--first time I've seen this since escaping from MS--the keyboard went dead. Completely. Even numlock/ca
