Network card problems

Post by megasur » Tue, 19 Jan 1999 04:00:00



I'm having some difficulty with one of my machine connecting to the
network with linux.  I have 3 machines and two of them connect fine.
One of the machines however doesn't seem to recognize the network card.
What I see is that when I boot into linux there is no light on the hub
indicating activity.  However that same machine is dual booted with
windows95 and when I boot into windows95 the light is lighted and it is
connected to the network.  This is odd behavior I would say.  I have
done all the network setup as far as configurations the same on all
machines and yet this one doesn't come up.  They all are using the same
network card (an Intel Etherexpress 16) so there should be no support
problems there.  I think it is mainly that light is not lit on the hub,
but why is it lit when I boot into win95 and not linux?  Can anyone help
me out?  Please tell me any suggestions or info you may have.  Thank
You.

1. Linksys PCI network card problem

I just instaled a new linksys etherpci card in my linux box.  I compiled
ne2000 support into the kernel and feed 'ether=10,0x6100,eth0' at the lilo
prompt.  So far so good!  At boot it found the card and seemed to set it up
properly.  Unfortunately I can't ping in or out from the machine.  And
everytime I try pinging the linux box from another machine I get 'eth0:
bogus packet size: 0, status=0x0 nxpg=0x20' popping up on the linux's
screen.  I am using a hub and the activity leds light up when I try pinging
to or from the machine.

my ifconfig looks like this:

eth0  Link encap:10Mbps Ethernet HWaddr 00:20:78:10:C7:F4
         inet addr:192.168.1.1 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
        UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
        RX packets:0 errors:141 dropped:0 overruns:0
        TX packets:140 errors:0 dropped:0 ovveruns:0
        Interrupt:10 Base address:0x6100

Any thoughts.  I compiled PCI support into the kernel.  Could that be
causing the problem?
