I got a Dell last summer, in which I couldn't get the network chip |
| 2 |
running, so I bought a cheap Via Rhine PCI network card and used that |
| 3 |
for almost a year. I finally got the built-in chip working today on the |
| 4 |
older 530. This post is being sent on it. It's a bastardized Intel |
| 5 |
chip that shows up as "Intel Corporation 82562V-2 10/100 Network |
| 6 |
Connection (rev 02)" under lspci, but uses gigabit driver (e1000e). Go |
| 7 |
figure. |

I finally stumbled across the *REAL* reason I couldn't get it working. |
| 10 |
I always tried configuring eth0 for it... silly me. Apparently, the |
| 11 |
chip *ALWAYS* comes up as eth1. Here are a couple of excerpts from |
| 12 |
dmesg. The 1st one is about halfway through dmesg... |

The next one is at the very end... |
| 25 |
0000:00:19.0: eth1: Link is Up 100 Mbps Full Duplex, Flow Control: RX |
| 26 |
0000:00:19.0: eth1: 10/100 speed: disabling TSO |

| 30 |
|

Here's /etc/conf.d/net I left in the eth0 entry. It generates an |
| 32 |
error message, but doesn't cause any problems. And yes, *THE NETMASK |
| 33 |
IS CORRECT* |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
config_eth1="192.168.123.250 broadcast 192.168.123.255 netmask 255.255.255.248 mtu 1452" |
| 36 |
routes_eth1=("default via 192.168.123.254") |
| 37 |
config_eth0="192.168.123.250 broadcast 192.168.123.255 netmask 255.255.255.248 mtu 1452" |
| 38 |
routes_eth0=("default via 192.168.123.254") |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
I've made 4 changes in iptables to accomadate the change, but I'd |
| 41 |
really like to know what's going on, and revert to eth0 if possible. |
| 42 |
I've appended "nofirewire" to the boot paramters in lilo, but it doesn't |
| 43 |
help. |
