Hi! I've got HP OmniBook 5700CTX (P166MMX) with 2.4.20 kernel and I try to use 10/100Mbps Realport PC Card LG LPNCII-10/100 (Cardbus). This card is Realtek RTL-8139 chip based. I use yenta_socket and 8139too module (8139cp does not work). The problem is that I can load the modules, ifconfig the card, but I can't even ping my not-mobile computer (there is Intel EtherExpress PRO/10+ ISA - I use eepro module and everything looks OK). I'm sure that cable and both cards are fine, because if I run on the laptop Win98 I can ping each other. I have tried several things but nothing works :-(.
Have you got any idea?? May be these infos will help: first of all laptop IP: 192.168.0.12 non-mobile computer IP: 192.168.0.1 I know there are lot of stuff below, but I don't know where to search for the hint even :-( *** "route -n" on both computers *** Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo *** *** "iptables --list" on both computers *** Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination *** *** "ifconfig" on desktop computer *** eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:AA:00:C8:3B:68 inet addr:192.168.0.1 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) Interrupt:3 Base address:0x200 /* I cut off lo interface */ *** *** "ifconfig" on laptop BEFORE "ping 192.168.0.1" *** eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:40:F4:5D:B5:FB inet addr:192.168.0.12 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) Interrupt:10 Base address:0x1000 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) *** *** "ifconfig" on laptop AFTER "ping 192.168.0.1" *** eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:40:F4:5D:B5:FB inet addr:192.168.0.12 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) Interrupt:10 Base address:0x1000 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:7 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:7 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:784 (784.0 b) TX bytes:784 (784.0 b) /* I have no idea why it goes to the loopback ?!? */ *** *** "lsmod" *** Module Size Used by Not tainted 8139too 15272 1 mii 2240 0 [8139too] ds 6568 2 yenta_socket 9632 2 pcmcia_core 38112 0 [ds yenta_socket] ide-scsi 8048 0 *** *** "lspci" *** 00:00.0 Host bridge: OPTi Inc. 82C557 [Viper-M] (rev 14) 00:01.0 ISA bridge: OPTi Inc. 82C558 [Viper-M ISA+IDE] (rev 02) 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Chips and Technologies F65554 (rev c2) 00:03.0 CardBus bridge: Texas Instruments PCI1131 (rev 01) 00:03.1 CardBus bridge: Texas Instruments PCI1131 (rev 01) 00:14.0 IDE interface: OPTi Inc. 82C621 [Viper-M/N+] (rev 12) 01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.
