Currently I have a LNE100TX - EtherFast 10/100 LAN Card from Linksys and I
have had no problems with it in my past endeavors with Redhat. It has
worked properly without and modification up until Redhat 6.2. I installed
Redhat 6.2 and all installed well and I rebooted into Linux and during
startup it hung at bringing up the eth0 inteface for quite some time which I
found odd. Upon logging in I attempted to ping anyone on the network and I
would only receive a single line stating
ping 84(56) request
I would end the ping and it would state that one ping had made it through
but the rest timed out.
I could ping the loopback and everyone on the network could hit me. This
struck me as odd since I never had any problems before with the NIC. Just
to be sure I went back and reinstalled Redhat 6.1. Sure enough the card
worked fine and I had no problems at all. I got responses from everyone on
the network and had no problems accessing any resources at all.
Does anyone have any ideas behind why this happened and what possibly could
be causing it? Any possible information would be greatly appreciated.
