Running Debian Woody on a Gateway Solo 9100 laptop, with an Intel Pro/100 CardBus II (eepro100_cb.o driver) network card, pulling a DHCP address using dhclient.
When I boot the laptop, everything appears to get recognized correctly, but I am unable to access the network. 'ifconfig' shows eth0 existing with an address, but no traffic will pass. However, I can log in and do a 'ifdown eth0' and then 'ifup eth0', and suddenly everything will be working properly. I can also start the laptop without the card, and then add it later - it comes up fine at that point. Any ideas where to look? It's running my custom Kernel 2.4.18, plus latest PCMCIA modules. This problem also occurred using original Debian bf2.4 kernel. /etc/pcmcia/network.opts is unchanged from original. /etc/network/interfaces shows 'iface eth0 inet dhcp', which was added by the installation program. /var/log/syslog shows that 'dhclient' is being run on bootup. It says the following: : DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 5 : receive_packet failed on eth0: Network is down : DHCPOFFER from 192.168.1.254 : DHCPREQUEST on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 : DHCPACK from 192.168.1.254 : bound to 192.168.1.232 -- renewal in 900 seconds Is that 'receive_packet' failure possibly a problem? Any other ideas? --Josh -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
