Summary: bcm4400 won't transmit
Kernel Version: Linux slappy 2.5.69 #1 Mon May 5 12:54:32 EDT 2003 i686
unknown
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Owner: jgarzik@pobox.com
Submitter: lkml-bugs@sigkill.net
Distribution: debian unstable
Hardware Environment: Dell Inspiron 8500
Software Environment: single-user boot for testing
Problem Description:
bcm4400 receives packets, but will not transmit (behaves as if the hardware link
detection is down). Works with the external driver under 2.4.20.
Steps to reproduce:
Get one (I believe they are built into i810 motherboards, among others) and build
2.5.69 with support for it (modular or in-kernel makes no difference). I believe it
worked under 2.5.68 but it was not heavily tested at the time (I can do so if it is
needed.)
Ifconfig (after multiple dhcp attempts, raising by hand and pinging, etc) shows:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0B:DB:1B:89:3C
inet addr:192.168.33.47 Bcast:192.168.33.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
