Subject: NX5000 network card problem
Resent-Date: Thu, 9 Oct 2008 14:20:14 +0000 (UTC)
Resent-From: debian-user@lists.debian.org
Hello.
I have an HP/Compaq NX5000 laptop, that I dual boot into Windows XP Pro and
Debian 4.0.
The network access is okay with Windows XP, but works only intermittently with
Debian.
I am wondering whether something is wrong with the network card driver in
Debian 4.0.
I do not know how to find what is the network card driver (the name of the
driver software) that is being used by Debian 4.0.
From the PCI listing in the KDE Info Center, the Ethernet card is shown as
"Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4401-B0 100Base-TX (rev 02) "
and with
"Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 64, IRQ 209".
From the Interrupts table in the KDE Info Center, the line shows
"209 47745 IO-APIC-level eth1"
The Network Interfaces table in the KDE Info Center, shows three lines
of text; one for each of eth0, eth1, and lo.
Please advise how I can resolve the problem between Debian 4.0 and the network
card, as, that the network card seems to work without any problems with Windows
XP, appears to show that the network card is not faulty.
Thank you in anticipation.
