You need two Ethernet connections to get going. Secondly, check your
firmware version of the 7i80.
Also download the latest Mesaflash software form here
http://www.github.com/micges/mesaflash. The version on the Mesanet
website is outdated and does not talk to the 7i80 properly.
You are having the same problems that I had. It went away with the
firmware update and fitting a second Ethernet connection. I got a cheap
USB to Ethernet adapter.
There is no need for a firmware update in your case
Marius had very old = almost 2 years old firmware.
The reason its a bit tricky to set up an independent Ethernet interface
for the 7I80 is that you must make sure that 7i80 traffic is routed to that
interface (and not sent out the generic internet path)
To debug this further, can you
1. Indicate what the 7I80 W1 and W2 settings are (note that if you change
jumper settings you must power cycle the 7I80 for those settings to take
effect)
2. Post the results of /sbin/ifconfig -a to the mailing list so we can see
your network interface settings

Hey Guys,
I will start from the top on what I have done,
I have Debian built from the boo-table USB from the website, then I
compiled using,
cd ~
sudo apt-get install git-core gitk git-gui
sudo apt-get build-dep linuxcnc
sudo apt-get install linux-image-3.2.0-4-rt-686-pae
sudo apt-get install libudev-dev
sudo apt-get install iptables-persistent
git clone git://git.linuxcnc.org/git/linuxcnc.git linuxcnc-dev
cd linuxcnc-dev
git pull
git checkout master
cd src
./autogen.sh
./configure --with-realtime=uspace
make
sudo make setuid
After that is when I tried to load the firmware to the card, then I
tried to change the card IP address, both times I get the "No 7I80
board
found"
Then I found in the HM2_ETH manual the following entries,
*Configure network with static address*
Add these lines to the file /etc/network/interfaces to configure eth1
with a static address:
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet static
address 192.168.1.1
*Disable IPv6 on the dedicated interface*
By default, Linux may transmit IPv6 packets on all interfaces, even if
they are not explicitly configured with global IPv6 addresses. In
/etc/sysctl.conf, disable ipv6 on eth1 by adding this line:
net.ipv6.conf.eth1.disable_ipv6=1
*Note:*Simply setting ??ipv6?? to ??ignore?? in the GUI network tools does
not eliminate the link-local ipv6 address. Use the sysctl.conf method
even if you otherwise use the GUI to configure the dedicated interface.
*Configure iptables for exclusive access*
Install the package "iptables-persistent" and put this in the file
/etc/iptables/rules.v4 (remove leading whitespace from every line):
*filter
:OUTPUT ACCEPT [0:0]
:hm2-eth-rules-output - [0:0]
-A OUTPUT -j hm2-eth-rules-output
COMMIT
Of which I did all of the above, and still I get the "No 7I80 board
found" after trying to communicate with the board.
I am using the following MB,
http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/FM2A88X-ITX+/?cat=Specifications only
because we have had very good luck with the ASrock boards, and this
offered on-board WiFi, to get around the problem of not having an
ethernet port to connect to our network, when using the 7i80.
Could the on-board WiFi be causing my communication problem?
