hi,
are there known problems in severn with the
e100
intel-etherexpress 100 modul
i was trying now for 2 days to bring one of my severn into the lan.
i was not able to do a net-install wih the severn boot-disk,
tested once again with the rhl 9 boot-disk and the e100 on the same
maschine, no problems.
ok,
burning the severn cd #1, minimal english install
the e100 will be recognized and configured by kudzu
but ...
ifconfig = ok
lsmod = ok
modules.conf = ok
net-config = ok
no firewall = ok
# rpm -e iptables lokkit
tcpdump = nothing seems to go out only come in
route = ok ? 169.254.0.0 ??
added
/etc/syscongig/network
NOZEROCONF=1
route = ok
rebooted, 1000 x
network restarted, 100000 x
removed the nic, rebooted, 10 x
add the nic, rebooted, new config, 10 x
always the same
there is a link but nothing goes out
searched the old hdd with, rhl 7.2, rhl 8.0, win98, win2k, netware5
-> no problems, the intel works propper
replaced the intel with an old realtek 10baseT
alias eth0 ne2k-pci
1 minute later, the severn is in the lan :-)
