Interface Hang with 2.4.18 kernel
Hi Fellow Mandrake PPC-ers, Has anyone noticed the ethernet interface hanging (it can not receive packets) after putting the interface into promiscious mode (such as with Ethereal). The interface seems to work while in promiscious mode, but after quiting Ethereal (TCPDump, ngrep) the interface no longer receives packets. This seems to occur on my G3 PB (Pismo) with either the built in ethernet (eth0), or the airport card (eth1) I am using the otherwise wonderful 2.4.18 (-6?) kernel (with ide-cs.o module for flash card access). Putting the PB to sleep, and re-awakening it, seems to clear the problem. Any thoughts? Anyone using sniffers out there? I had to work to find an ethereal that works with Mandrake 8.2 (most want libcrypto, and there doesn't seem to be one for 8.2) TIA, Craig...

The solution I've found is to ifdown the interface. rmmod the modules related to them. Then ifup the interface again. And it should start working again. Guess it's not really a solution... more like a work around. -- Ben Reser [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://ben.reser.org If you're not making any mistakes, you're flat out not trying hard enough. - Jim Nichols

Actually I take that back... now that I think about it ethereal does the same thing... -- Ben Reser [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://ben.reser.org If you're not making any mistakes, you're flat out not trying hard enough. - Jim Nichols
Newbie to Linux on PPC
I have been using Linux for a few years now and the new excitment for me is the arrival of a powerbook wallstreet I will be attempting to setup MDK 8.2 PPC on. I am eager to see how Linux runs in a RISC enviroment. As this is my first time working with a PPC any tips or suggestions are appriciated. The first stumbling block I have run into is it came with mac os x jaguar installed, with 9.2 in a sepirate partion. This powebook boots into os x, from there when I launch bootX it launches 9.2 to run bootX, I set it up (which is the best video driver for a powerbook wallstreet?) once configured I select linux and it shuts down the 9.2 but does not reboot the system. Only returns me to os x. I have thought about just formatting the drive with disktools however untill I am certain I can boot from cd and initiate the install process i am leary of ending up with no os and no way to acess somthing like bootX What is the procedure for directing a powerbook wallstreet to boot from cd? What is my next step? -- 2:32pm up 2 days, 2:30, 8 users, load average: 2.17, 2.06, 2.04
