Hi, I upgraded my server with mdk 9.1 (def) and I had problem with the network : eth0 does not come up properly (no ip).
In syslog: PCI: Found IRQ 9 for device 00:10.0 PCI: Sharing IRQ 9 with 00:07.2 3c59x: Donald Becker and others. www.scyld.com/network/vortex.html 00:10.0: 3Com PCI 3c905 Boomerang 100baseTx at 0x1000. Vers LK1.1.16 [...] Mar 28 18:03:19 neptune network: Bringing up loopback interface: succeeded Mar 28 18:03:19 neptune ifplugd[740]: Warning: Could not get interface address.

Apr 1 11:42:17 neptune network: Bringing up interface eth0: failed I determined the problem to be with ifstatus : # ifstatus -v eth0 eth0: SIOCETHTOOL failed (Operation not supported) SIOCGMIIPHY: unplugged SIOCDEVPRIVATE: unplugged # mii-tool -v eth0 eth0: negotiated 100baseTx-FD, link ok product info: National DP83840A rev 1 basic mode: autonegotiation enabled basic status: autonegotiation complete, link ok capabilities: 100baseTx-FD 100baseTx-HD 10baseT-FD 10baseT-HD advertising: 100baseTx-FD 100baseTx-HD 10baseT-FD 10baseT-HD link partner: 100baseTx-FD 100baseTx-HD 10baseT-FD 10baseT-HD flow-control I solved this inserting in ifcfg-eth0 : MII_NOT_SUPPORTED=1 but I had the same problem with my Laptop HP Omnibook XE3 Accton card (tulip) What is wrong with ifstatus ?
