From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020830 Description of problem: Setup dhcp on a 3c59x. Link is not detected at 'check_link_down' call in ifup script. This meant the card could not be brought up until I commented out that check. Looking at mii-tool output for the 3x59x, it bears no resemblance to reality. Card is up and running as 100baseTx-FD crossover to the cable modem. mii-tool reports 10base, half duplex, no link. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Configure a 3c905B for DHCP networking. (cross over cable to an SB4200 cable modem) 2.Bring up the interface Actual Results: Network did not come up. Expected Results: Link should have been detected, and dhcp processing should have taken place. commenting out the link check gave a successful network startup. Additional info:
I don't think this is 3c59x specific. See 75813
