------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-02-05 17:40 ------- Hi, I have hit a similar bug I think. No errors are generated on boot up, but no network interfaces are brought up. I have two Macronix network cards, both using tulip network driver. Eth1 gets an IP via DHCP from a cable modem, eth0 is set to 192.168.0.1 On mdk 9.0 eth1 takes about 5-10 secs to get an IP, but on mdk 9.1 beta 2 (or for that matter mdk 9.0 with updated initscripts) it says OK instantly. If I run ifup eth1 in a shell, it thinks for a few seconds and then says there is no link. Running dhclient eth1 gets an IP address fine. Judicious use of echo commands has traced the problem to possibly be in the check_link_down function but don't take my word for it, I'm not exactly a bash guru. Strangely, replacing the ifup script with one from 9.0 seems to fix it? HTH, Roger ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: UNCONFIRMED creation_date: description: I installed Manrake 9.1 beta 1 and during installation I selected to configure network. It detected my card (3Com 3C905B) and I selected to use DHCP to configure IP address. But after I restarted the computer I got an error that eth0 was unable to start. It suggested to check cable. I have Windows XP pro on the same machine and it is also set to use DHCP and to automatically negotitate mode and speed. My network card is connected to LevelOne FBR-1403TX router and in Windows XP Pro the NIC is correctly set to full duplex mode and 100 mbit speed. All works fine in Windows. So I think there is nothing wrong with cabling or something. It looks like Mandrake Connection wizzard doesn't set the network card up correctly. I also tried to configure the network after the installation from Mandrake Control Center and eth0 still can't start up. I searched all around to find the place where I could manualy set duplex mode and line speed or enable auto negotiation but I was unable to find this.
