You could try adding this line to (or editing the existing line in, as
appropriate) your /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 file:
MII_NOT_SUPPORTED=yes

Then restart the network service ("service network restart" at a root 
prompt). IIUIC, this will disable the NIC's ability to report that the 
cable is unplugged, which should keep ifplugd from reacting. Hopefully. :)

HTH!

[expert] Ethernet Problem

2003-11-14 Thread Sven L.
Hello,

I am using MD 9.1 on my laptop with an static ip adress on eth0. Ifplugd 
deletes the ip adress of eth0 if the cable is unplugged and this is the 
reason for an jboss error. I need a real static ip adress on eth0. All 
ideas are apreciated.

Hi Jim!

I think you're problem lies within the Kernel...
Try to recompile the Kernel!

Disable "Symbol on modules" in the Kernel, then recompile it!
Do not forget to do a "make modules" and "make modules_install"!

David.

Try modprobe instead of insmod.

You are probably missing another module that wd depends on. Try instead:

modprobe wd

2000-05-18 Thread Jim Hodgers

I have been using Suse (5.1, 6.1 and 6.3) and decided to see what all the
hype about Mandrake was. I like what I see with one exception. With Suse my
ethernet card was always auto-configured and just was there. Mandrake
refuses to mount the card. When I run insmod I get the following:

[root@localhost jim]# insmod wd
/lib/modules/2.2.14-15mdk/net/wd.o: unresolved symbol ei_open
/lib/modules/2.2.14-15mdk/net/wd.o: unresolved symbol ethdev_init
/lib/modules/2.2.14-15mdk/net/wd.o: unresolved symbol ei_interrupt
/lib/modules/2.2.14-15mdk/net/wd.o: unresolved symbol NS8390_init
/lib/modules/2.2.14-15mdk/net/wd.o: unresolved symbol ei_close


computer is an AMD K6-2 350 with Azus MB and 64M ram running Masndrake 7.0
ethercard is an old Western Digital 8013 16 bit ISA (I have a coax network
and it would be very hard to change)

If I swap cards with one of my Windoze machines it works in the Windows
box, but the replacement that is put in the Linux box does the same thing
(all are WD8013 cards)

A friend offered some TrendNet cards but I can't find drivers for them.

Am I missing something in the kernal?
