 |
|
I just recently decided to try out the new development kernel. After messing around a bit, I got the kernel to compile very nicely, and it runs like a dream.
One problem -- my NIC, while it is recognized, and listed in ifconfig -a, and even has seemingly accurate reporting of packets etc, dhcp refuses to connect, and after a failed attempt, the ifconfig -a lists the following..
| Code: |
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:04:5A:89:0F:D6
BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:11 errors:0 dropped:3369 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:1 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:100
RX bytes:958 (958.0 b) TX bytes:590 (590.0 b)
Interrupt:10 Base address:0xa400
|
which seems like ALOT of dropped packets on the recieving side.
Any ideas? the card works perfectly w/ 2.4 kernels.
I am in the process of trying to grab the log info from DHCP.

Have you checked you checked your /etc/conf.d/net and made sure the eth0 is set up properly there? I don't know if this is much help... just trying to offer what I know.

I did the entire setup manually to test everything. All funky flags out of the command line, manually doing
replacing * with 0 and 1 because a have a known non-functional (and not plugged in) NIC built into my mobo. I was fairly certain which card was which, but I tried both... I haven't had access to my computer in several days, and so will try to get information from the dhcp's log and post it soon.
