[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. I used the dmesg command to obtain some info: eepro100.c:v1.09j-t 9/29/99 Donald Becker http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/eepro100.html eepro100.c: $Revision: 1.20.2.10 $ 2000/05/31 Modified by Andrey V. Savochkin [EMAIL PROTECTED] and others eth0: OEM i82557/i82558 10/100 Ethernet, 00:D0:B7:7E:19:75, I/O at 0xd000, IRQ 0. Receiver lock-up bug exists -- enabling work-around. Board assembly 727095-007, Physical connectors present: RJ45 Primary interface chip i82555 PHY #1. General self-test: passed. Serial sub-system self-test: passed. Internal registers self-test: passed. ROM checksum self-test: passed (0x04f4518b). I am unsure why it is showing the card as having IRQ 0. Windows says it is on irq 9.. this is important since when I want to do things in linux at home my wife still has to be able to get out to the net thru internet connection sharing. Any help is, as always, appreciated. -- Carl Lafferty System Administrator, Floyd County Public Library Registered Linux User #201131

Re: [newbie] Network Card Woes
Run sndconfig as root in a terminal window. I bet LM put the soundcard on the wrong IRQ. Don't even bother trying changing the settings in DRAK.

Re: [newbie] Network Card Woes
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)?? I know the network card is ok because I have the same card running in my other box, and this card runs fine in windows.

Re: [newbie] Network Card Woes
Were it me, I'd pull the sound card and check what IRQ the ethernet board is on, and then go specify the IRQ in the hardware config drake. But I'm as clueless as any, I guess...
