I work with another Linux flavors without any kind of problem (Red Hat, SuSE, Mandrake) but now I moved to Gentoo these servers and NICs don't want to work properly  . I get TX/RX errors using network...
I searched for driver information in Donald Becker' s website and downloaded the utility mii-diag
Running this utility from command line says that has an configuration error in the duplex mode...
I find a little hack to solve this... Runnig this utility from shell in this manner:
This reset the NIC transceiver and now they get the correct duplex mode: Full Duplex and Autoselection mode...
At this moment I' m working with these two servers, but when they are free I' ll edit this article and put the full command output
Since then  |
