so, it seems, you have no dhcp server in your network? Sorry I forgot to mention I am trying to activate the network card to work with a speedtouch 530 Telstra bigpond adsl modem then do not check "DHCP" for it... I don't know... maybe this helps: http://speedtouchconf.sourceforge.net/ Actually the clue is in the trace
RX packets:1 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0

Its either negotiated the link wrong or is hitting a dodgy cable.
Either way its hardware or kernel side. What is in dmesg

dmesg file
Hi Alan
The dmesg file I think you mean is attached to this message. I hope you can
help. I don't think it is a hardware fault because it works with every other
Operating System I install. Please reply asap as I want to start installing
things off the web and it is too hard to swap between os's to search for thier
dependencies.
Kernel I think. I found a matching bug report about dhcp with 3com 3c905tx cards. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 107389 *** Changed to 'CLOSED' state since 'RESOLVED' has been deprecated. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; FunWebProducts; Hotbar 4.4.5.0) Description of problem: I have a pentium III computer with a 3Com 3C905TX-based Ethernet Adapter (Generic) or as linux calls it (boomrang) network card that will not obtain an ip address via dhcp so every time i try to activate it it fails. but it works with a static ip. I took a look at its irq settings and it said that its irq number was unknown. I am using fedora core 2 test 2 that I got from everything linux in sydney australia and have not added to it at all execept off the install cds. I also had this problem with fedora core 1 but not with redhat 9. also it is a duel boot wih windows xp on another partition. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install fedora on computer and go to network. 2. Choose to obtain ip address from dhcp and the same for dns. 3. Save and try to activate and the problem comes up. Actual Results: eth0 fails to activate Expected Results: eth0 should activate Additional info:
