Hi!
I´m running a masquerading and packet-filtering firewall on my
home-machine. Since my graphics-card displayed vertical stripes
whenever the harddisk was active, I powered the machine down (losing
224 days of uptime <argh>) and swapped the gfx- and scsi-card in their
respective pci-slots.
I have 3 network cards in the box, one DEC21140-based (eth0, to a
windos-machine), one NE2k-clone (eth1, ISA, to another windos-machine)
and one RTLsomething-based (PCI, eth2), utilizing the via-rhine driver
as module.
After bootup, all the cards were detected as usual, but when issuing
ifconfig to eth2, it complains SIOC ressource unavailable, which is not
good, since my dsl-connection goes over that card. I checked, and have
an active link-led on the dsl-modem and at the network card, I also see
activity on the dsl-modem, but only TX, no RX.
Since I need the dsl-connection rather badly (working from home), I
swapped the cabling between eth1 and eth2, changing ip´s and routes et
al and the dsl-connection works fine over eth1. eth2 is still dead.
dmesg:
eth2: VIA VT3043 Rhine at 0xd800, 00:80:c8:e4:83:e9, IRQ 9.
eth2: MII PHY found at address 8, status 0x782d advertising 05e1 Link 0000.
ifconfig -a:

Since eth1, eth2 and the dsl-modem are all only capable of 10mbit/half
duplex I also cannot imagine the problem there.
Any ideas for me? (my GFs box hangs on the now-dead eth2, so I should
get it back up before she notices ;/ ).
TIA,
&rw
