I've installed openSUSE 10.0 on a dual opteron 250, 4 GB RAM, with a
Tyan S2875 K8W Tiger motherboard. The onboard NIC is Intel Gigabit
Ethernet. My kernel is 2.6.13-15-smp, and I have the e1000 module
loaded without any options. When my network comes up, I see in my logs:
Nov 14 10:09:42 lincoln kernel: eth0: no IPv6 routers present
Nov 14 10:09:50 lincoln kernel: e1000: eth0: e1000_watchdog_task: NIC
Link is Up 10 Mbps Full Duplex
The network is obviously pretty slow with this setup. I've tried
forcing the interface to 100BaseT full duplex (that's what my switch
supports) by placing this in my /etc/modprobe.conf.local file:
options e1000 Duplex=2 Speed=100
The interface appears to come up in the logs I see:
Nov 14 10:22:29 lincoln kernel: Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Driver -
version 6.0.60-k2-NAPI
Nov 14 10:22:29 lincoln kernel: Copyright (c) 1999-2005 Intel
Corporation.
Nov 14 10:22:29 lincoln kernel: e1000: 0000:02:03.0:
e1000_check_copper_options: Forcing to 100 Mbps Full Duplex
Nov 14 10:22:29 lincoln kernel: e1000: 0000:02:03.0:
e1000_check_copper_options: Speed, AutoNeg and MDI-X specifications are
incompatible. Setting MDI-X to a compatible value.
Nov 14 10:22:29 lincoln kernel: e1000: eth0: e1000_probe: Intel(R)
PRO/1000 Network Connection
But, I can't access the network - i.e., ping by ipaddr gets me
'Destination Host Unreachable'
Can anyone offer advice?
Thanks,
Ken
