 |
|
Hello group,
all of a sudden (or so it seems), I cannot use eth0 anymore.
This is what dmesg says when I restart net.eth0:
| Quote: | eth0: link down
ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready |
I did:
- downgrade from udev-103 to 087-1 (no effect, upgraded again)
- updated my kernel to 2.6.18-gentoo-r3 (worked again! --for a day)
- replaced the ethernet card (rtl8139) to another one (3c905) (no effect)
- checked wiring, replaced cables, restarted switch
- booted from knoppix 4.0 dvd (no problems, eth0 working like a charm)
Here some more information:

| Did you include the support for the ethernet card in the kernel? (not as module) |

| Yes. First, I used 8139too as module and now 3c59x (because I switched NICs). |

| You should try to compile the networking card support directly into the kernel. |

Sorry, I misread your first post.
And after I compiled the driver directly into the kernel, voilá! --it worked again.
SO, now what I really want to know is how this could happen, after the modularized driver worked fine for so long and then stopped working. Perhaps the udev upgrade had something to do with it, but then again, I downgraded the thing. Is the ebuild defective? |

I see you have multiple eth cards on this mobo (via_rhine + 3c59x)
either can be picked up as eth0 at bootup randomly unless you define a udev rule
or, just blacklist the via_rhine module so it never gets loaded, so 3c59x card will always get eth0 interface. |
