When an interface based on this card, using the 3c59x driver, is brought up, mii-tool version 1.60 reports no link, even though the card works properly and DHCP clients are able to work and ping also works. Now, normally this is not a problem. Unfortunately, as of RedHat 8.0, they use mii-tool to check the link status of an interface before even attempting DHCP. This means that an exception has to be made in the ifup - supporting scripts on machines having these cards, because the link status is being mis-reported. If not, the ifup script fails with a message telling you to go check the cable. Thank you for your attention. _______________________________________________ vortex mailing list [email protected] http://www.scyld.com/mailman/listinfo/vortex
