Tags: confirm this problem exists on some of my systems too (82540EM). It causes DHCP to fail (dhcp3-client). The card works with static configuration of the interface. I'm not sure if it's a bug or not.
It is quite annoying, because 2.4.27 works with the network card, yet to get SATA support I have to run 2.6.8. So with the standard kernels I can have networking or read my boot disk, but not both. I've also tried adding the "unix" and "af_packet" modules to /etc/modules (why is it a good idea to have af_packet as a module?) but this makes no difference. I've attached an strace of what happens when I try to run dhclient manually. I booted single-user, with /etc/network/interfaces set to auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp I killed the initial dhclient attempt during the boot with ^c, made sure I had af_packed and unix modules loaded, and ran strace dhclient eth0 -- lsmod info (discover seems to have gone a bit berserk) Module Size Used by nvidia 3923260 0 nfsd 201344 8 exportfs 6368 1 nfsd autofs4 19780 12 ipv6 264740 10 nfs 193984 1 lockd 63944 3 nfsd,nfs sunrpc 153156 5 nfsd,nfs,lockd pcspkr 3592 0 floppy 61200 0 parport_pc 36900 0 parport 41800 1 parport_pc i810_audio 37588 0 ac97_codec 18956 1 i810_audio tsdev 7392 0 mousedev 10476 0 joydev 9984 0 evdev 9600 0 usbhid 32224 0 uhci_hcd 33136 0 pci_hotplug 34640 0 intel_agp 22816 0 intel_mch_agp 10608 1 snd_intel8x0 36460 0 snd_ac97_codec 69988 1 snd_intel8x0 snd_pcm 98728 1 snd_intel8x0 snd_timer 25732 1 snd_pcm snd_page_alloc 11752 2 snd_intel8x0,snd_pcm gameport 4704 1 snd_intel8x0 snd_mpu401_uart 7968 1 snd_intel8x0 snd_rawmidi 25124 1 snd_mpu401_uart snd_seq_device 8200 1 snd_rawmidi snd 57156 7 snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm,snd_timer,sn d_mpu401_uart,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq_device soundcore 10336 2 i810_audio,snd piix 13440 0 ide_core 139940 1 piix ehci_hcd 32004 0 usbcore 119012 5 usbhid,uhci_hcd,ehci_hcd dm_mod 59804 0 capability 4520 0 commoncap 7232 1 capability e1000 85828 0 af_packet 22568 0 agpgart 34664 3 nvidia,intel_agp,intel_mch_agp genrtc 9588 0 ext2 71880 5 ext3 127240 0 jbd 62616 1 ext3 mbcache 9348 2 ext2,ext3 sd_mod 21728 7 ata_piix 8132 6 libata 41700 1 ata_piix scsi_mod 125228 2 sd_mod,libata unix 28756 22 font 8320 0 vesafb 6656 0 cfbcopyarea 3872 1 vesafb cfbimgblt 3040 1 vesafb cfbfillrect 3776 1 vesafb -- lscpi information: # (lspci; lspci -n) |sort 0000:00:00.0 0600: 8086:2570 (rev 02) 0000:00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corp. 82865G/PE/P DRAM Controller/Host-Hub Interface (rev 02) 0000:00:01.0 0604: 8086:2571 (rev 02) 0000:00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corp. 82865G/PE/P PCI to AGP Controller (rev 02) 0000:00:1d.0 0c03: 8086:24d2 (rev 02) 0000:00:1d.0 USB Controller: Intel Corp. 82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) USB UHCI #1 (rev 02) 0000:00:1d.1 0c03: 8086:24d4 (rev 02) 0000:00:1d.1 USB Controller: Intel Corp. 82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) USB UHCI #2 (rev 02) 0000:00:1d.2 0c03: 8086:24d7 (rev 02) 0000:00:1d.2 USB Controller: Intel Corp. 82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) USB UHCI #3 (rev 02) 0000:00:1d.3 0c03: 8086:24de (rev 02) 0000:00:1d.3 USB Controller: Intel Corp. 82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) USB UHCI #4 (rev 02) 0000:00:1d.7 0c03: 8086:24dd (rev 02) 0000:00:1d.7 USB Controller: Intel Corp. 82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) USB2 EHCI Controller (rev 02) 0000:00:1e.0 0604: 8086:244e (rev c2) 0000:00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corp. 82801 PCI Bridge (rev c2) 0000:00:1f.0 0601: 8086:24d0 (rev 02) 0000:00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corp. 82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) LPC Bridge (rev 02) 0000:00:1f.1 0101: 8086:24db (rev 02) 0000:00:1f.1 IDE interface: Intel Corp. 82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) Ultra ATA 100 Storage Controller (rev 02) 0000:00:1f.2 0101: 8086:24d1 (rev 02) 0000:00:1f.2 IDE interface: Intel Corp. 82801EB (ICH5) Serial ATA 150 Storage Controller (rev 02) 0000:00:1f.3 0c05: 8086:24d3 (rev 02) 0000:00:1f.3 SMBus: Intel Corp. 82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) SMBus Controller (rev 02) 0000:00:1f.5 0401: 8086:24d5 (rev 02) 0000:00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corp. 82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 02) 0000:01:00.0 0300: 10de:0322 (rev a1) 0000:01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5200] (rev a1) 0000:02:0c.0 0200: 8086:100e (rev 02) 0000:02:0c.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corp. 82540EM Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 02) -- dmesg output intel8x0: clocking to 48000 e1000: Ignoring new-style parameters in presence of obsolete ones Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Driver - version 5.2.52-k4 Copyright (c) 1999-2004 Intel Corporation.
