As I'm mirroring the Debian site, the system is upgraded if I install something new which happens quite frequently as the systems are new and the required software base has quite not stabilzed yet.
However, it seems like something has happened in the last fixes or so as my second ethernet device is not functioning anymore. It worked a week ago, with about 1.1.6 or so. As I need to run some firewalling code I have compiled my own kernel on the v2.0.6 release. The symptons are that the 10Mbit ether-device (the main device is a HP100Mbit) will get a arp address of zero: mpc7> arp -a Address HWtype HWaddress Flags Mask Iface gandalf.uccs.edu ether 08:00:09:7A:A3:90 C * eth0 mpc4.uccs.edu ether 00:00:00:00:00:00 * eth1 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The mpc4 computer has not been touched at all, it has worked in the same setup for at least two months now. It also gets ar 00:00 arp entry of the mpc7 computer. On another computer the eth0 device is the 10Mbit device, and the same thing happens, so its not connected to the device number. Anybody have a clue ? The easiest would be to install an older version of Debian, but is it possible to find one and how do I make dselect to downgrade all the components ? Thanks / Heikki
