Hi List! I have a problem configuring my debian potato to use dhcp. I'm connected to the Internet via cable modem. The network card is configured to irq=10 and io=0x300. The module is smc-ultra. The card should be ok.
When I start 'pump', it tries to get dynamic ip from server using dhcp, but fails everytime. When 'pump' is trying to get the ip, 'ifconfig' shows this: eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:C0:57:6D:DE UP BROADCAST RUNNING MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:2 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 Interrupt:10 Base address:0x310 Memory:cc000-d0000 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:3924 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 In the output ip address is not defined and the Base address is 0x310, though the card is using base address 0x300. /var/log/syslog shows following messages: Dec 4 22:43:31 debian pumpd[431]: PUMP: sending discover Dec 4 22:43:31 debian pumpd[431]: breq: opcode: 1 Dec 4 22:43:31 debian pumpd[431]: breq: hw: 1 Dec 4 22:43:31 debian pumpd[431]: breq: hwlength: 6 Dec 4 22:43:31 debian pumpd[431]: breq: hopcount: 0 Dec 4 22:43:31 debian pumpd[431]: breq: id: 0x6d13df9e Dec 4 22:43:31 debian pumpd[431]: breq: secs: 0 Dec 4 22:43:31 debian pumpd[431]: breq: flags: 0x 0 Dec 4 22:43:31 debian pumpd[431]: breq: ciaddr: 0.0.0.0 Dec 4 22:43:31 debian pumpd[431]: breq: yiaddr: 0.0.0.0 Dec 4 22:43:31 debian pumpd[431]: breq: server_ip: 0.0.0.0 Dec 4 22:43:31 debian pumpd[431]: breq: bootp_gw_ip: 0.0.0.0 Dec 4 22:43:31 debian pumpd[431]: breq: hwaddr: Dec 4 22:43:31 debian pumpd[431]: breq: servername: Dec 4 22:43:31 debian pumpd[431]: breq: bootfile: Dec 4 22:43:31 debian pumpd[431]: breq: vendor: 0x63 0x53 0x82 0x63 Dec 4 22:43:31 debian pumpd[431]: breq: vendor: 53 1 0x 1 Dec 4 22:43:31 debian pumpd[431]: breq: vendor: 0xff Dec 4 22:43:41 debian kernel: eth0: Tx timed out, lost interrupt? TSR=0x3, ISR=0x3, t=999. Does anyone have any ideas what's wrong. I used 'dhcpcd' in my former debian, and I have tried it in this new installation but without success. Thanks! Esko
