I have two 3c509B netcards. The module load ok, and with ifconfig I see the cards ok. Well, I can't ping to the nets (for none of the interfaces), except when I delete the default route. When I do, the net work fine!!!. I don't understand it. # ifconfig -a eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:50:DA:76:75:58 inet addr:10.1.1.161 Bcast:10.1.1.175 Mask:255.255.255.240 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:121 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:105 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 Interrupt:10 Base address:0x1000 eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:01:02:15:99:71 inet addr:192.168.129.65 Bcast:192.168.129.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:1772 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:369 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 Interrupt:11 Base address:0x1080 # netstat -nr Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface 192.168.129.65 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 eth1 10.1.1.161 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 eth0 10.1.1.160 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.240 U 0 0 0 eth0 192.168.129.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo 0.0.0.0 10.1.1.174 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 The route table it's ok, isn't??!!! why!!.. when delete the default route all work!!!.... umm Ahhh..

This is no iproute problem, but a more correct package can't be known. Please test with 'tcpdump -n' first, then run 'ping -n' to check what's there to be seen about network. -n is critical as if DNS servers aren't reachable, network connectivity might appear to be broken. Are you using a switch or hub to connect the network cards to? Are they in autonegotiation mode? If not, has the network card settings been changed in /etc/conf.modules?
As no more information was provided over a long period i'll close this bug as 'WORKSFORME' as we have working setups with more than 1 ethernet card. Read ya, Phil
