Using my existing Debian Sarge desktop system with a stock 2.6.8-2-k7 kernel, I bring up my second network card with something like:
"ifconfig eth1 192.168.1.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 up" and the system hangs. Any ideas what is wrong? >From dmesg: via-rhine.c:v1.10-LK1.1.20-2.6 May-23-2004 Written by Donald Becker ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:00:12.0[A] -> GSI 23 (level, low) -> IRQ 193 eth0: VIA Rhine II at 0xb000, 00:0c:6e:23:cb:92, IRQ 193. eth0: MII PHY found at address 1, status 0x786d advertising 01e1 Link 0020.
