I have posted this issue before without getting any results. Having
tried to remedy the issue on my one also without any results, I am
giving this a second try. Hopefully somebody can help me.
Basically, the problem is this: whenever I boot my system (a laptop,
btw), my eth0 interface does not activate.
In order to get it to activate I have to type "ifdown eth0", then "ifup
eth0". Only then is it finally activated.
If I look at dmesg, I find the following information possibly relating
to eth0 during the boot up.
Yenta IRQ list 0698, PCI irq11
Socket status:30000010
Yenta IRQ list 0698, PCI irq11
Socket status:30000020

eth0: Xircom cardus revision 3 at irq 11
After typing "ifdown eth0" and "ifup eth0", the following information is
tagged onto dmesg.
Xircom cardbus adaptor found, registering as eth0, using irq 11
xircom_cb: enabling promiscuous mode
xircom_cb: capabilities changed from 0x1e1 to 0xa1
xircom_cb: Link status has changed
xircom_cb: Link is absent
xircom_cb: Link status has changed
xircom_cb: Link is 100 mbit
spurious 8259A interrupt: IRQ7
I am also including the following information related to this problem.
/etc/network/interfaces reads:
auto lo eth0
iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet static
address .......
[etc]
/etc/default/pcmcia reads:
PCMCIA='yes'
PCIC=xircom_cb [was =yenta_socket, but either way I get the
same results]
PCIC_OPTS=""
CORE_OPTS=""
CARDMGR_OPTS=""
Thanks!
