From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3) Description of problem: Upgrde from RH 7.3 to RH 8.0 seems to have dropped support Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Boot system 2.Run redhat-config-network 3. Actual Results: Network Configuration does not recognize the presence of 3COM PCI Ethernet adapter. The adapter does not appear to be in the list of supported adapters. Additional info: The adapter works find under WindowsXP. The syetem is an IBM Thinkpad A21P The system does know the device is there on the PCI bus but will not configure it with redhat-config-network Here is some of the output from the lspci command: 00:03.0 Ethernet controller: 3Com Corporation 3c556B Hurricane CardBus (rev 20) Subsystem: 3Com Corporation: Unknown device 6356 Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV+ VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- S ERR- FastB2B- Status: Cap+ 66Mhz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=medium >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbo rt- >SERR- <PERR- Latency: 80 (2500ns min, 2500ns max), cache line size 08 Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 11 Region 0: I/O ports at 1800 [size=256] Region 1: Memory at f0101400 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=128] Region 2: Memory at f0101000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=128] Expansion ROM at <unassigned> [disabled] [size=128K] Capabilities: <available only to root> 00:03.1 Communication controller: 3Com Corporation Mini PCI 56k Winmodem (rev 20) Subsystem: 3Com Corporation: Unknown device 6159 Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster- SpecCycle- MemWINV+ VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- S ERR- FastB2B- Status: Cap+ 66Mhz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=medium >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbo rt- >SERR- <PERR- Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 11 Region 0: I/O ports at 2000 [size=256] Region 1: Memory at f0101c00 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=256] Region 2: Memory at f0101800 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=128] Capabilities: <available only to root>
dunno, if supported by the kernel... reassigning
The adapter did work in RH 7.3
and it was displayed in redhat-config-network of 7.3? is this a pcmcia card?
All I can tell you is that it worked. I have wireless and 100M ethernet at work and 10M ADSL at home and I did take and use my laptop at home. The card is a Ethernet modem combo card. The lspci coommand does find it and identify it correctly. But when I try to use neat to configure it, it does not appear in the list of supported network adapters. Ethernet controller: 3Com Corporation 3c556B Hurricane CardBus (rev 20) Subsystem: 3Com Corporation: Unknown device 6356
The part number on the modem is 3CN3AC1556B. Could it be related to what I repported in bug 78995. ....Brian
could you please provide the output of: # /usr/sbin/kudzu -p -c NETWORK
hello ... i am having the same problem.... the internal NIC worked fine with fc1 using any of the 2.4.xx kernels...but one i updated to fc2 with 2.6.x it was not recongnized... lspci did however recognize the card but did not install it properly ... thank you
here is the output : ot@localhost root]# kudzu -p -c NETWORK - class: NETWORK bus: PCI detached: 1 device: eth1 driver: unknown desc: "Atheros Communications, Inc.|AR5212 802.11abg NIC" vendorId: 168c deviceId: 0013 subVendorId: 1186 subDeviceId: 3202 pciType: 2 pcidom: 0 pcibus: 2 pcidev: 0 pcifn: 0 - class: NETWORK bus: PCI detached: 0 device: eth0 driver: 3c59x desc: "3Com Corporation|3c556B CardBus [Tornado]" network.hwaddr: FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF vendorId: 10b7 deviceId: 6056 subVendorId: 10b7 subDeviceId: 6356 pciType: 1 pcidom: 0 pcibus: 0 pcidev: 3 pcifn: 0 [root@localhos thank you
hello ... also if i can add it to this report notice that eth1 is a wirless 802.11g card. it is a d-link dwl-650 do you guys know of any drivers that i can us for it ... thank you, martin
martin: can you do as root # echo 'alias eth0 3c59x' >> /etc/modprobe.conf # /sbin/ifconfig eth0 and retry system-config-network?? and no, I don't know any driver (google might help)
hello ... i did add it to the modprob.conf and when i look at the output of ifconfig i still see that the MAC is ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff lspci sees the card properly .... thank you, martin
