I think that link-LED is not under the control of software so if it won't link (or only intermittantly) then there's a problem with the card's hardware.

Another thing was that udev assigned device numbers (eth0/eth1) randomly to the NICs, so I had to use a mapping section in /etc/network/interfaces.

VIA epia box does not see onboard ethernet after reboot (was: mini-itx server)
Dear Srs, I have two VIA epia boxes. One is an epia5000, and is running ipcop, using its onboard ethernet (Via Rhine) and an adittional PCI SiS ethernet board; the other is an epia M6000, and is running sarge, headless - its a disk / subversion server. Both boxes run 24h/day - boots/reboots are rare. However, when I need a boot, *sometimes*, both machines are unable to load the Via Rhine module. When this happens, I have found that turning off the box, booting it with a different PCI content (remove PCI SiS card, or insert it, in the case of the box that does not have one), turning it off again, restoring the previous PCI configuration and then rebooting - this brings the box back to normality... (??!!?) Does anyone (else) faced ethernet problems with these boards? Any suggestions? Thanks, João -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
