I have a dual processor pentium (Micron PowerServer), 64 MB RAM,
Buslogic 946, 3Com595 FastEthernet 100Base-TX card.
The kernel recognises the card but I can't turn the card 'up'
I can't cut and paste a screen shot (no network...) but from memory...
The card is a PCI card in a PCI/EISA motherboard.
The card is found by the kernel, correct *everything*
ifconfig eth0 shows the normal stuff
ifconfig eth0 204.97.12.14 returns
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Try again
ifconfig eth0 again shows the IP address was set but the card is down.
ifconfig eth0 up returns
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Try again
This same problem happens when I put a 16 bit (ISA) 3c509 in the
machine. Everything else appears to be working fine. I have a RedHat
3.0.3 installation with the 2.0 upgrade rpms. (NET-B...)
I had the 3c509 working with a CD-ROM install of redhat 3.0.3 using
linux-1.2.13. I brought the machine up on the net, downloaded linux
2.0.4 and the 2.0 RPM's from Redhat. I installed the RPMS and rebuilt
the kernel. I then rebooted and the card broke.
Any suggestions?
