I am a new Linux user, and could use some help determining what the problem is with my Corega FEther PCI-TXM card, which has a VIA VT6102 chip. I have Potato installed with the via-rhine module. I have read a whole bunch of manuals, howto's and FAQ's, but I could not find anything that was helpful.
I think that the problem is that the hardware address of the Ethernet card is not detected properly, but I have no idea what I can do to solve this. Here is the relevant part (I hope) of my syslog file: [snip] kernel: via-rhine.c:v1.08b-LK1.0.0 12/14/2000 Written by Donald Becker kernel: http://www.scyld.com/network/via-rhine.html kernel: eth0: VIA VT6102 Rhine-II at 0xd800, 00:00:00:00:00:00, IRQ 9. kernel: eth0: Transmit timed out, status 0000, PHY status 0000, resetting... last message repeated 4 times [snip] kernel: eth0: Transmit timed out, status 0000, PHY status 0000, resetting... last message repeated 7 times [snip] And here is the output of 'ifconfig eth0': eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:00:00:00:00 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:13 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 Interrupt:9 Base address:0xd800 Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
