Hi,
Again, thank you everyone for your help so far with my problem. Here's what
I'm up to with this Xircom CardBus Ethernet II 10/100 on a Dell Inspiron 8000:
Last night I tried resetting the modem and after fiddling with ifconfig, dhcpcd,
and pcmcia-cs, I got this thing working! But only for a few seconds. I got
dhcpcd to get me an IP for ifconfig by running "dhcpcd eth0" and apt-get update
started updating, but froze after a few seconds. Next time I ran ifconfig, eth0
was completely gone.
Here's what happens when I boot in right now. When I boot in, ifconfig
shows eth0 and lo, but no IP address in eth0. After running "dhcpcd eth0"
ifconfig shows an IP!!! But when I run apt-get update, the thing fails (I
probably waited too long) and when I ran ifconfig again, eth0 was gone
completely. Running dhcpcd again didn't help. eth0 was still gone. The trick
right now seems to be to keep eth0 with an IP address. I need/want to be
using dhcpcd. That's what has always ran for this RoadRunner connection.
Now if you guys think promiscious mode might help, is there a way to do it
for dhcpcd? If so, how?
- Bart
