 Posted: Wed Apr 12, 2006 6:42 am Post subject: [solved] eth0 RX errors and Destination Host Unreachable |
 |
|
If I'm quick logging in after boot up, I'm able to view webpages via a www-client and ping named addresses outside my router within the first 10-15 seconds of dhcpcd starting up on boot up. After 10-15 seconds:
ifconfig eth0 shows that RUNNING is no longer present (it is present immediately after boot up) and I get a new error every 5-6 seconds
| Code: | eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:08:A1:04:63:13
inet addr:192.168.2.20 Bcast:255.255.255.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
UP BROADCAST NOTRAILERS RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:6 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:2 errors:2 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:2

turns into
| Code: | eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:08:A1:04:63:13
inet addr:192.168.2.20 Bcast:255.255.255.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

RX bytes:1240 (1.2 Kb) TX bytes:1414 (1.3 Kb)
Interrupt:17 Base address:0xd800
|
dmesg |grep eth0 gives me:
| Code: | eth0: Davicom DM9102/DM9102A rev 49 at 0001d800, 00:08:A1:04:63:13, IRQ 17.
eth0: Setting full-duplex based on MII#1 link partner capability of 45e1.
|
setting dhcpcd_eth0="-d" gives me the following during boot:
| Code: | Running dhcpcd ...
dhcpcd: MAC address = 00:08:A1:04:63:13
dhcpcd[6744]: broadcasting DHCP_REQUEST for 192.168.2.20
dhcpcd[6744]: dhcpIPaddressTime=4294967295 in DHCP server response.
dhcpcd[6744]: dhcpT1value is missing in DHCP server response. Assuming 2147483647 sec
dhcpcd[6744]: dhcpT2value is missing in DHCP server response. Assuming 3758096383 sec
dhcpcd[6744]: DHCP_ACK received from (192.168.2.1)
dhcpcd: your IP address = 192.168.2.20
dhcpcd[6744]: infinite IP address lease time. Exiting
eth0 received address 192.168.2.20
Mounting network filesystems ...
|
After the initial 10-15 seconds, pinging anything other than localhost (including pinging my router) gives something like:
| Code: | | From 192.168.2.20 icmp_seq=4 Destination Host Unreachable. |
whereas initially if I ping immediately after boot up I'm able to ping.
My /etc/conf.d/net has:
| Code: |
config_eth0={"dhcp"}
dhcp_eth0="nodns nontp nonis"
|
When I boot up from livecd my connection is fine and stable. The only difference I can find between the livecd and regular boot up is that the interrupt found via ifconfig is 16 in livecd while it's 17 from a regular boot up. Any links or suggestions?

I have been having the EXACT same problem with the EXACT same chipset, (integrated on a Soyo P4I-845PE) works with the live cd, but not after install.
I have been asking for like over a year now, and nobody can tell me anything, so I have just been using a linksys nic.

For me anyway. Problem for me was that the "tulip" module doesn't work for my tulip compatible ethernet card. So in this case RX errors ==> bad or wrong driver.
Things I did:
| Code: | mount /boot
cd /usr/src/linux
make menuconfig
|
| Code: |
Device Drivers --->
Network device support --->
[*] Networking Support
Ethernet (10 or 100Mbit) --->
[*] Ethernet (10 or 100Mbit)
Tulip family network device support --->
[*] "Tulip" family network device support
<M> Davicom DM910x/DM980x support
|
| Code: | make && make modules_install
cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/linux-2.6.15-gentoo-r1
nano -w /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6
|
| Code: |
#comments ...
dmfe mode=5
ip_tables
|
So I removed 'tulip' and inserted the 'dmfe mode=5' which isn't "needed" as described by the documentation in '/usr/src/linux/Documentation/networking/dmfe.txt' but is appropriate for my router and ethernet card. |
