1 Hi,
2 I have a problem with my ehternet connection and would be pleased if someone
3 could help me:
4
5 I emerged some things (don't ask me what exactly...) and am unable to ping
6 anything now.
7
8 The ip-address and co. are alright, I can just boot another operating system
9 on my pc (sabayon or windows) and eth0 is working fine using the same
10 configuration.
11
12 Ifconfig eth0 gives me this:
13
14 Link encap:
15
16 UNSPEC HWaddr 44-4F-C0-00-14-31-AC-10-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00
17 inet addr:192.168.0.45 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
18 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
19 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
20 TX packets:2 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
21 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
22 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:72 (72.0 b)
23
24 I'm pretty sure the Mac-Addr is too long.. that's weird,
25 Also, when using Sabayon, the first line differs: "Link encap:ether" and the
26 mac is correct
27
28 I tried to change the mac with:
29 ifconfig eth0 hw ether 10:20:30:40:50:60
30 but then, I get th following:
31 SIOCSIFHWADDR: Invalid argument
32
33 Very strange: I have two independend pcs and BOTH of them have the same
34 problem meanwhile!
35
36 Any ideas?
