Try using the 'old_tulip' driver. assigned to dledford old_tulip does work. Seems to be an issue with tulip (new) on a linksys card. I can offer up my system for test if needed. I have a similar problem with a Netgear FA310TX (rev D2) card. If the link goes away (ie. I reboot my other machine), I have to ifconfig eth1 down and ifconfig eth1 up to get the driver working again. The tulip driver from Netgear works, but it insists on logging all this extra crap to my kernel log so I'd rather use this one. Haven't tried old_tulip yet though - will do that tonight. (updating an ancient bug) Can you try to reproduce with a current Red Hat or kernel.org kernel? Outdated. Please file new bug report if this issue persists with current Red Hat kernels. |
The tulip driver does not correctly start my linksys card. On boot, where I normally would hear one click as it ifconfig'd up, I know hear two and the network is not running. A manual ifconfig eth0 up brings up the net after boot. I saw this problem in Mandrake 7.0-2 as well. dmesg output: Linux version 2.2.15-2.5.0 (root.redhat.com) (gcc version egcs-2.91.66 19990314/Linux (egcs-1.1.2 release)) #1 Sat Feb 5 00:28:02 EST 2000 Detected 333353820 Hz processor.
