hi all. =)
just wanted to know if someone could answer a couple of questions for
me, i'm kind of baffled here at the moment. <sob>
i have a realtek8029 (ne2000 pci compliant) card. it worked fine in a
machine i have, i then moved it to another pci based system and ever
since then it has started getting network collisions on that port. my
guess is the resource settings on the card. this card is a simple 10bT
card with nothing special on there.
the only difference since the move of the card is, i have have switched
from a coaxial based setup to a twisted pair one. could it be that the
actual port is dead?
the nic could also be set to full duplex somehow. is there an option to
disable this option, or somehow at least check under linux. i've seen
this to be the problem in many a setups in my time. since the hub is
only a simple half duplex entity.
anyhow. i wanted to know how to set the interrupt and io settings for
the card. i do an ifconfig eth0 irq 10 and it says that it's not
supported. i check the /proc/pci resources and it always has it as
interupt 5. i have pasted this on.
PCI devices found:
Bus 0, device 9, function 0:
Ethernet controller: Realtek 8029 (rev 0).
Medium devsel. IRQ 5. I/O at 0x6400.
here is also my ifconfig.
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:E8:D6:7A:1D
inet addr:199.107.139.10 Bcast:199.107.139.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

RX packets:9860 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:1256
TX packets:10753 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 coll:0
Interrupt:5 Base address:0x6400
can someone help. the above settings don't show any collisions but it
comes up on the hub. i have tried kernels 2.0.35 and 2.0.36. download
2.1.132 in case there is something happening with the pci n2k.
thanks heaps. =)
