My network card stopped working. The problem seems to be in the tulip driver. Here is an excerpt from the /var/log/messages file:</DIV> <DIV class=RTE><FONT face="Courier New, Courier, Monospace"><STRONG>Dec 13 14:39:34 nslabs06 kernel: tulip0: EEPROM default media type Autosense.<BR>Dec 13 14:39:34 nslabs06 kernel: tulip0: Index #0 - Media MII (#11) described by a 21142 MII PHY (3) block.<BR>Dec 13 14:39:34 nslabs06 kernel: tulip0: ***WARNING***: No MII transceiver found!<BR>Dec 13 14:39:34 nslabs06 kernel: eth1: Digital DS21143 Tulip rev 65 at 0xc0000000b0040000, 00:30:6E:4A:59:3E, IRQ 59.<BR></STRONG></FONT></DIV> <DIV class=RTE> </DIV> <DIV class=RTE>In 2.4.21-EL (Redhat kernel), this card appears to be DECchip 21142/42 and works fine.</DIV> <DIV class=RTE> </DIV> <DIV class=RTE>I have one more curious observation: When the system comes up with the card disabled in the network settings, the lights in the card (and the router port it is connected to) are on. As soon as I try to activate the card (which calls "ifup eth1") they go out, and the command says "... failed. No link present". Of course the cable is connected.</DIV> <DIV class=RTE> </DIV> <DIV class=RTE>The version of the driver is whatever I got from ia64-linux.org (which eventually takes you to kernel.org).</DIV> <DIV class=RTE> </DIV> <DIV class=RTE>Can someone please indicate why this card is not working in 2.6.9?</DIV> <DIV class=RTE> </DIV> <DIV class=RTE>Thanks!</DIV> <DIV class=RTE> </DIV> <DIV class=RTE>-Rahul</DIV> <DIV class=RTE> </DIV></div></html> --===============0693039118== Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline _______________________________________________ tulip mailing list, [email protected] To change to digest mode or unsubscribe visit http://www.scyld.com/mailman/listinfo/tulip --===============0693039118==--
