Hello: References: Generally: Subject - PCI controller issues and stable Debian vs latest ubuntu Specifically: message-id [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I disabled the onboard lan chip and put in a standalone ethernet card. Here's two relevant lines from a current dump of lspci: (This dump was made from a previous install of ubuntu, which picked up the davicom) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 01:05.0 Ethernet controller: Davicom Semiconductor, Inc. 21x4x DEC-Tulip compatible 10/100 Ethernet (rev 31) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 01:09.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394): Texas Instruments TSB43AB23 IEEE-1394a-2000 Controller (PHY/Link) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I've installed from the netinst cd for debian 4.0 During the network configuration dialogue - I chose the first choice, which associates eth0 with the Firewire device. The davicom device was shown as eth1 (if I recall correctly) Couldn't reach any mirrors for software updates or security updates, ifconfig shows an IP address configured as I requested, put can't ping anything on my home network, nor can I ping this machine. To proceed, I'm open to recommendations: Should I: 1)Re-install, choosing the davicom (the stand-alone ethernet card) 2)Tweak the bare-bones system If so - where to start. I'm a programmer comfortable with the command line. Several years background in RH and slack, but not a OS geek. As I write, I've shut the machine down, is vi(m) with the barebones netinst? If not, what editor? - That way I can familiarize myself beforehand. Links to docs are welcome.
