Hello!
What was working before:
I am using the (infamous) Marvell Yukon Gigabit Ethernet Controller, on my laptop.
| Code: | # lspci | grep net
02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88E8053 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 15) |
Over all kernel I have had, to make it work, I have to install the kernel patch from the manufacturer:
http://www.marvell.com/drivers/driverDisplay.do?dId=107&pId=10
Since I did this patch, my wired network is fine.
| Code: |
# cat /etc/conf.d/net | grep --uncommented-only
config_eth0=( "192.168.1.30 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255" )
routes_eth0=( "default gw 192.168.1.1" )
|
What I did:
I upgraded my kernel from "config-2.6.13-gentoo-r5" to "config-2.6.14-gentoo-r4". I had some problems with the nvidia drivers by the way. I solved it by installing the ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" on the top on the "non-~x86" things, before and after rebuilding the kernel, and using "opengl-update nvidia".
What is still working:
Almost all the network works. The only thing is that my computer doesn't respond to ping from any broaccast:
What is not working now:
from another computer: (the result is actualy the same, if I ping from the (buged) computer itself.)
| Quote: | $ ping 192.168.1.30 // works
$ ping -b 192.168.1.255 // every computer in the LAN responds but 192.168.1.30 does not.
$ ping -b 255.255.255 // every computer in the LAN responds but 192.168.1.30 does not. |
I found this out, because I am a coder of the glob2 game. Into this game, my computer would not respond to UDP broadcasting to port 7010 from the LAN. So this is not only ping. The other parts of the game, included the network is going fine.
Has anyone any idea how to track-and-fix this ?
Thank for any help! |
