Fwd: [newbie] Network Card Not Working in Full Duplex Mode
Huh, I really should watch what I'm doing. I thought I was sending this to the list. Bah. Forwarded to the list now. -- Forwarded message -- From: Amy [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Fri, 11 Mar 2005 13:46:08 -0800 Subject: Re: [newbie] Network Card Not Working in Full Duplex Mode To: Mikkel L. Ellertson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hey guys, I hadn't fixed things as well as I'd thought, so I figured I'd check back in and let everyone know what happened. The mii-tool thing ended up not acting like it made a difference after I'd left my computer sitting overnight, so I gave the ifdown eth1, unplug for 60 seconds, ifup eth1 thing a try. (Note to anyone reading this later for help, my network card is eth1 because I don't use the onboard network card, but the typical network card is usuall eth0). No luck with that, still wasn't behaving as it should. At that point I gave in and decided to shut down my computer. I ended up pulling out the network card, and reseating it after I completely shut off the power to my computer, then turning my computer back on. Everything seem to have reset itself and all the lights came on like they should have. Everything since has been behaving correctly, so I suppose I really can call this fixed.

That and I liked that my computer doesn't go funny on me just because it's been on for hours and/or days at a time. I ended up getting help from a friend though, which seems to have temporarily fixed the problem. We'll see if it holds whenever I end up having to turn my computer off for whatever reason. Probably the next time will be when I go to take it over to my boyfriend's house, but that will also include the adventure of getting it to work with a wireless adapter since he and his roommate have a wireless network happening. My friend talked me through using mii-tool to figure out what's up. First he had me check what the actual connection was (mii-tool eth1), to make sure it matched what the router was telling me. Then he had me use mii-tool -F 100baseTx-FD eth1 to set it for full duplex mode. eth0 is the NIC onboard on the motherboard, I use a PCI NIC because my last motherboard had trouble with the onboard NIC. Anyhow, now, my router still doens't have the dull duplex light turned on, but if I do enough with my internet connection, it'll come on long enough to cooperate, and I am indeed back up and running for now. I'll make another post to this thread later if this change doesn't stick and I still have problems. But I should most likely be able to fix it with the other information provided in the thread if this doesn't stick if/when I have to restart next.

[newbie] Network Card Not Working in Full Duplex Mode
Hey guys! I noticed recently that my linksys router isn't showing the connection between my computer and the router as being functional in full duplex mode. This occurred after last friday when my Dad was having a new heater and air conditioning unit put in, the guys doing the installation accidentally turned off the power to the outlet my computer was hooked to. Since I wasn't home at the time, and my dad didn't realize this was going to happen (even if he did, I don't know that he would have been able to shut my computer down), my computer was turned off without shutting down correctly. The problem with the full duplex mode showed up after this occurred. I'm hoping it's just a setting was frelled, and that this can be fixed without replacing the network card in my computer, but my wandering through preferences hasn't lead me to find anything that might control the duplex mode. If anyone can point me towards where I might be able to fix this (or at least confirm that it is indeed my hardware that's the problem), I would most appreciate it. And in case anyone asks, I have reconnected the network cable on both ends, and I have plugged into various ports on the router to make sure it wasn't just the little light on the router that died. Thanks in advance! Amy -- I have 50 invites to gmail, do you have a gmail account yet? Do you want one?

Only idea I can come up with is to install kernel 2.4.21. - On the other hand, your network card seems to be commonplace, so it's very strange that Mandrake chokes on it. - Of course, the brain-dead solution is to replace the ethernet card with some well known card, such as a RealTech, but wait a little : I'm quite confident that somebody on this list has the key to your problem.

Re: [newbie] Network Card
as i recall i've done this in two places, one during the install itself when the routine probes for cards and doesn't find it, after installation i ran linux conf and under -from memory- networkinghosts adapters? something like that, you specify host and domain name and can configure up to four nics by choosing their driver, ne2000 compatible or just ne for you and me, note: ne2000 compat isa is differnet to the pci, and also you can enter options here, in the box marked io put '0x300', i have never needed to specify irqs to date just the port does this help? bascule On Thursday 14 June 2001 3:54 pm, you wrote: Thanx for the tip!

[newbie] Network Card Problem in Mandrake 8.0
I have mandrake 8.0 installed on an IBM Thinkpad. I also have a Netgear FA410TX PCMCIA netcard. This card is successfully detected by mandrake. I'm currently trying to get @Home to work with this card. I have tried multiple configurations with ip's, DNS's, etc. The major problem is that when I plug in the ethernet cable from the cable modem into the network card, the Link/Act light does not go on (this light should turn on if an ethernet network is detected). Also, whenever the card is in the laptop and I try to shutdown, Mandrake hangs on the step shutting down pcmcia. The only solution is to power down manually. If I don't put the netcard in, then shutdown proceeds without any problems. Does anyone have any solution to either of the two questions I asked? Thanks for any help.

[newbie] network card woes
I have an Intel pro 100+ Network card (that's what windows idents it as) and since I upgraded my mobo from an asus p5ab to a p3b-f I can't get it to work in linux at all. everything APPEARS to work fine however. it is apparently detected and it USED to work... I even did a complete reinstall of linux mandrake 7.2 and no go.

[newbie] Network Card Won't Behave (Long)
Hi all, First off, thanks to everyone who tried to help me last week (to no avail!) I'm re-posting in hopes of fresh ideas. I've got two boxes (I know the names are brutal): #1) Bill0 - K62-266 Mandrake 7.2 (my web, mail, samba server) Works Great! It has two network cards (one for the cable modem, one that connects to) #2) Bill1 - Dual boot (Win98, Mandrake 7.2) When I'm in Win98 on Bill1, I can see the other box, surf, get POP mail etc. When I boot to Linux, I can't do anything involving the network (even tho it says [OK] when starting lo and eth0). Ping from Bill1 to Bill0 shows: PING 192.168.0.1 (192.168.0.1): 56 octets data sendto: Network is unreachable Ping from Bill0 to Bill1 sits until I ^C it then returns: 60 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss. I can ping in both directions when I'm in Win98 on Bill1. Things I've tried: 1) If I try: ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.253 I get an error: SIOCSIFFLAGS: Resource temporarily unavailable. 2) modprobe ne2k-pci yields Warning: The PCI Bios assigned IRQ0 to this PCI Ne2k card which is unlikely to work! You should use the PCI Bios setup to assign a valid IRQ line. In my Bios my IRQ's are shown as [AUTO]. Changing them to (ie.) 3,4,5,7 etc. doesn't seem to accomplish anything. I also tried disabling USB in the BIOS to no avail. So I'm stuck again!! Can anybody help me? TIA Bill.
[newbie] network card configuration problem
Hi all, Can anyone help with the following problem with ethernet card? Much thanks in advance. Basically, the auto-detect does not recognize the card correctly. Even after setting it to the correct card in DrakConf, at reboot it still revert to the wrong card. We recently purchased a Compaq SP750 workstation with an "Integrated Intel PRO/100+ Management Adapter" with an Intel chip set 82559. [DarkConf][Hardware Configuration] setup shows it as 82557 and try to map it to "IBM i82557 10/100 PCI Ethernet Adapter".

Thanks for the replies. I got a little extreme last night and pulled everything out of the machine except the Network and Video cards, and then re-installed LM from scratch. Still no dice! I'm starting to think it has to be a hardware issue. Do any of you have an ASUS P3BF (440BX chipset)??

[newbie] network card
I just bought a Linksys Ether16 10baseT LAN Card...

[newbie] Network Card Drivers
Hello, I have just finished installing Madrake 7.1 on my laptop. An ibm 380d. Everything works well excpet 2 things. There is not a driver included that supports the 3com 3c562d network card.This is my pcmcia card that includes a 33.6 mode. Where can I get a driver and how do I install it? Thanks for your help Eric
Re: [newbie] Network Card Fails on Startup
Justin, if you go to the D-link site and look for Linux drivers the 528CT is not listed as supported. The 530TX and the 530 TX + are supported and the drivers (modules) are on the Mandrake 7.1 cd. 530TX = via-rhine 530 TX + =realtek 8129/8139. You might need to load the module each time you boot.

How did you configure your interface? Linuxconf? DrakConf? Kppp? Netscape is complaining because you have a DNS resolution problem. This can either be because you have you DNS configured incorrectly, or your network is configured incorrectly.

[newbie] network card config problem
I should be getting sth like "eth0 Link encap Ethernet HWaddress 00 60 ."when I issue: ifconfig eth0 - but I just get an error about an unknown device. However HardDrake acknowledges that i have a configured Realtek 8029 and I also have Apache installed and can access http://127.0.0.1 with Netscape. But it looks like sth is wrong if ifconfig can't find eth0. Are there other tests I can carry out to track this down? BTW, if anyone else is trying to do what I'm trying to do - make my ADSL cable connection work - no help for people who don't use Windows from the ISP - I found a wonderful site at http://www.roaringpenguin.com/pppoe/ Unfortunately, I can't figure out if my NIC is working ok and so can't get to the next step.

When I boot Linux, I recieve the error that my ethernetwork initialization has failied (something similiar to that) and My network card is not activated, however if I remove the card and reinsert it, it will become active as eth0 when I look under ifconfig. But a few minutes later, I will hear a low beep and my network card will be shut off. I'm not sure what i'm doing wrong here... Can someone tell me how I should go about setting up my card in linuxconf if that's what I need to do (my ultimate goal is to set up SAMBA so I can talk to my other linux box and my winbloz box...)

[newbie] Network Card: Kudzu recognizes, Linux Fails
Hi -- I recently inserted an SMC 9432TX network card in my machine. As Linux was booting, Kudzu was called and recgonized the card. As expected, it called for the EPIC-100 network driver, as can be verified in DrakConf. However, as linux boots, insertion of eth0 fails (and is delayed), and one cannot ping anything.

I am trying to set up a simple Peer to Peer network between 2 W98 machines and my mandrake Linux machine.

Eventually I'd like to access the external modem on one of the w98 machines from my Linux box. To do the above I believe I need to configure Samba?

It is a:- 3com Etherlink III ISA (3c509b-combo) and is running in PnP mode in w98 (I'm currently duel booting). I can't seem to get Linux to attempt to detect it again (I'm totally new to Linux networking, but do have a very basic knowledge of Linux/Unix).

[newbie] Network Card Problem...Urgent!
I have tried several ways to get my Intel PRO/100+ Management Adapter to work in Linux-Mandrake 7.0(the downloaded version) and I have had no success. I downloaded the Linux drivers for my NIC from Intel's web site and followed the instructions to install it, but I keep getting eth0 initialization [failed] at boot up. i have tried editing /etc/conf.modules and /etc/sysconf/hwconf to reflect the new drivers but that did not work. The newly installed drivers DO NOT show up in Lothar, and Lothar and Linux show the card as a different model with incorrect I/O port and IRQ settings then what Win98 shows the card atall other devices show settings identical to what Win98 Device Manager shows(my sound card and video card). How can I install the drivers if Intel's instructions do not work for Linux-Mandrake? Intel says to extract the files from the tar.gz file... Goto the /scr directory that will be created and run 'make'...(this creates the modules file 'e100.o') After that test the modules with insmod e100.o... Install the modules with 'make install'... Load the modules by running 'modprobe e100'... They say the modules should install and work immediately. If there is different way please let me know? How can I get the driver to show up in Lothar?

[newbie] Network card not recognized
Hello list. A friend of mine tried to install Mandrake 6.1 Cassini on his PC. He has used lnx4win. During setup, his network card was not recognized, and he has problems to install it later. He uses a 3Com 3C509 card, IRQ 10. Any idea of what's wrong ? Thanks...

You could try going to a console prompt and trying "modprobe 3c509.c" and see if it picks it up The actual driver is in /usr/src/linux/drivers/net/3c509.c John

It's a hack, but I'm too lazy to really mess with it since it works anyway... It sounds like /lib/modules/2.2.9-27mdk/modules.dep doesn't have correct dependency information for the sb.o module. Try running depmod -c (I think that's correct, check the depmod manpage) and then check the resulting modules.dep. You should see uart401.o listed on the right-hand side of the ':' for sb.o.
