Upgraded 9.0 to 9.1, now every time I boot it says eth0 FAILED. Oddly, I still have a live Ethernet connection. Half the time, from looking at the LEDs on my Linksys DSL/Router, it appears that the adapter is coming up in half-duplex. I didn't have this problem in 9.0, though I do have it booting 9.1 with the 9.0 kernel. What do I have to do to get eth0 to come up reliably again? I thought of uninstalling the tulip driver and reinstalling it, but that is not a separately installable piece. I have a Linksys 10/100 wired internal NIC (standard LNE whatever).
On a related note, when I see the adapter is in half-duplex mode, if I do ifconfig eth0 down, I see the full-duplex LED come on immediately. But now I am disconnected, and ifconfig eth0 up does not reconnect me. The only way I found to reconnect is to go into Mandrake Control Center - Network and Internet - DrakConnect. It will determine I am disconnected and give me a button to connect. How can I do this from a command prompt so I don't have to start up MCC? "service internet restart" doesn't appear to work either.
