Description of Problem: Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): RedHat Linux 7.2.93 (Skipjack-beta2) I have downloaded skipjack-beta2 and installed on a Compaq Armada V300 Laptop. This laptop is provided with a Xircom CE3B-100 Ethernet PCMCIA card. Everything is working fine except for the following: When I boot then the Xircom card is recognized, the Xircom driver is loaded and the card is initialized. (I hear two peeps). I am be able to ping the IP-address assigned to my card and get a reply, however when I try to ping another machine on my LAN I get the error "no route to host". When I look in my routing tables I see everything is fine (I compared it with the routing tables on my other machines) The only way to get the network working is to restart the network with: /etc/rc.d/init.d/network restart. Sometimes it works after restarting once, sometimes I have to restart four or five times. When the network finally works it works fine and can use ftp, ping, webbrowsing etc. How Reproducible: Just reboot Steps to Reproduce: 1. Just reboot 2. 3. Actual Results: Expected Results: Additional Information:
What exactly does your routing table look like when you can't reach other machines? Are you using DHCP or static IPs? What version of apmd and grep do you have installed?
I am using static IP no DHCP: IP: 10.24.48.201 Mask : 255.255.252.0 Default Gateway: 10.24.48.1 DNS1: 10.24.48.51 DNS2: 10.26.4.51 My routing table looks like: destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Interface 10.24.48.0 * 255.255.252.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo default 10.24.48.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 Version of apmd installed: apmd 3.0.2-7 Version of grep installed: grep 2.5.1-1
sorry but the routing table is messed up it should be: dest GW Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Interface 10.24.48.0 * 255.255.252.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo defualt 10.24.48.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
This sounds like perhaps an issue with the driver.
anything in dmesg ?
