Need a network driver for the Intel EtherExpress Pro 100+ for RedHat 6.0

Need a network driver for the Intel EtherExpress Pro 100+ for RedHat 6.0

Post by Jhon Masschelei » Sat, 15 Jan 2000 04:00:00



I'm trying to run Redhat 6.0 on an old Intergraph TDZ2000.
It has an Intel EtherExpress Pro 100+ ethernet card.

When installing RedHat, it detects the card as being an Intel EtherExpress
Pro 100 card (without the '+'). The kernel module eepro100 is linked and
from that momenton, the machine freeses up at boot time when initialising
eth0.

I tried installing the redhat without network, and then configure the
network myself, but same thing, the moment I link the eepro100 driver, the
machine hangs.

From the info I found on the network, I know that the 100+ is not supported
everywhere, but maybe any of you have a lead for me?

thanks in advance.

1. RedHat 6.0 & Intel EtherExpress Pro+ 10/100+Management PCI Ethernet Card

I have installed Intel EtherExpress Pro 10/100+ Management cards in a
couple of RedHat 6.0 Linux machines.  The cards seem to work great using
the eepro100.o module, while Linux is running.

One problem during the setup work seemed to crop up on three different
machine on different days.  The machine would be left on over night, and
the next day it would be HUNG, no telnet, no console.  The real kicker
is that it seemed to adversely affect every Win95/WinNT/Win98 machine
running that same card on that network segment.  These machines would
get intermittent responses from a ping, while on the same segment a
PC with a differnt NIC would get 100% results from a ping to the same
machine.

One thing that I noticed while troubleshooting the problem is the
following line in the logs after the module loads.  It says "Receiver
lock-up bug exists -- enabling work-around".  I am wondering if this
"bug" is cropping back up on these machines when the machine HANGs.  Has
anyone else experienced any difficulty with the Intel EtherExpress Pro
10/100+management cards??

Can anyone explain the "bug" and what the work-around is fixing??  I am
trying to nail down what caused those cards to act funny during the same
times.

BOOT MESSAGES:

eth0: Intel EtherExpress Pro 10/100 at 0xe400, 00:90:27:9D:F9:0F, IRQ
10.
  Receiver lock-up bug exists -- enabling work-around.
  Board assembly 721383-007, Physical connectors present: RJ45
  Primary interface chip i82555 PHY #1.
  General self-test: passed.
  Serial sub-system self-test: passed.
  Internal registers self-test: passed.
  ROM checksum self-test: passed (0x04f4518b).

Thanks for all your help.
