From http://tldp.org/HOWTO/DSL-HOWTO/configure.html If your kernel is not 2.4.x, you may need extra software to use PPPoE. Do you know if you need to use PPPoE? >During boot following error messages: >- wrong entry in /etc/route.conf 0.0.0.0 >routing failed > >I checked this file, it looks like this: > >default 0.0.0.0 Looks like the ethernet interface is not getting setup by the DHCP server, and can't find a route. >I think it's more a hardware problem (device driver was >automatically set to tulip (DECchip 21142/43) by SuSE Linux, but I also >tried other PCI drivers like pcnet32, dmfe, sis900).

No, all my on-board ethernet drivers are for the MACE chip. The MACE chip is Apple-specific. Are the card drivers loaded as modules? Issue a 'lsmod' or '/sbin/lsmod' and see if they are listed. If nothing is output, all the drivers are compiled into the kernel. If they are listed as modules, see if there is a /etc/modules.conf or /etc/conf.modules file, and issue a 'cat' on it. This file can map a card to a specific driver- alias eth4 sis900 The installation program could have guessed poorly that the on-board should use a 'tulip' driver, and written that info to your modules configuration file. The drivers you should use are one of the following: [chasd@mail net]$ pwd /usr/src/linux/drivers/net [chasd@mail net]$ ls m* mac89x0.c mace.h macmace.c mace.c mace.o macsonic.c mac89x0.c: CS8900 chip used in Daynaport LC cards mace.c: Network device driver for the MACE ethernet controller macmace.c: Driver for the Macintosh 68K onboard MACE controller macsonic.c: A driver for the Mac onboard Sonic ethernet chip. So you probably want to make sure your on-board eth0 is recognized as a MACE and uses the mace driver. It should be compiled into the kernel, not loaded as a module, but you could try alias eth0 mace in your module config file, or remove any entry like 'alias eth0 tulip'. > >eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:C5:50:68:4D > inet6 addr: fe80::200:c5ff:fe50:684d/10 Scope:Link >... >eth1 link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:05:02:1C:EB:10 > inet6 addr: fe80::205:2ff:fe1c:eb10/10 Scope:Link Whoa, is your ISP using IPv6?, because your ifconfig output looks like your interfaces have IPv6 addresses (IPv6 addresses have values other than numerals, and there is a inet6 before the adddress). -- Charles Dostale System Administrator Silver Oaks Communications http://www.silveroaks.com 824 17th Street Moline IL USA 61265 [EMAIL PROTECTED] 309-797-9898 -- MaX-list is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and... / Buy books, CDs, videos, and more from Amazon.com \ / <http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect-home/lowendmac> \ Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> MaX-list info: <http://lowendmac.com/linux/max.shtml> Send list messages to: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/max-list%40mail.maclaunch.com/> Using a Macintosh?
